If you want to determine the density of an object, you would measure the mass and volume, then divide mass/volume to determine density. This can help determine the composition of the object. For example, if you find a rock that looks like a gold nugget. The density of gold is a known value, so one of the tests in determining if you are holding real gold would be to determine the density of your rock.
This is one example. Another (maybe more 'real world' for you). Shipping and cargo companies measure the volume of packages as they go by on the conveyor belt, so that they can figure how many will fit in a particular truck.

How do you find the volume if only the mass is shown?
You can't. Volume is the space occupied by a substance or object. To find the volume from the mass, the density would have to be known. Density = Mass / Volume If you want to find any of the three, you need the other two.
What is the method called when you want to find the volume of an irregular shaped object?
water displacement
How could you find out about a mass of 50 g and a volume of 5 ml?
To find the mass and volume of an object, you need to use a measuring device. For example, you can use a balance to measure the mass of the object and a graduated cylinder to measure its volume. Once you have these measurements, you can record the mass as 50 grams and the volume as 5 milliliters.
How would you find a volume of a regular shape?
If you want to find a volume of a regular shape, You need to multiply Length, Width, and High.
What tool do you use to measure irregularly shape object?
If you want to measure it's volume, place it in a measuring cylinder containing a certain amount of water, and measure the extra units to get the volume of the object

When would you want to find the volume of an object?
Well ween dookie in ya butt and its feeling kinda sludge diarria diarria

How do you find the volume of a regular and irregular shaped object?
Fill the object with water and pour it out into a graduated cylinder. This will give you the volume of any shaped container. If you want to find its displacement the opposite is needed. A tank of water. The water line is marked. The object is submerged and eureka you mark how high the water goes. Remove the object and measure how much water you have to add to the tank to reach the new line. That would be the displacement of your object. It is about the same as its' internal volume.

What is the formula for find the volume of an object?
You can measure the volume by filling a container (the best option would be an accurate measuring cilinder) with water. Note how much water is in the container, now immerse the object you want to measure in the water and once more note how much water is in the container. The difference between your second measurement and the first is the total volume of the object. Another way would be to weigh the object and then calculate its volume via its density Density=mass/volume so volume=mass/density. This method only works if your know the density of the object. A third way would be to simply measure the dimensions of the object and mathematically calculate the volume (e.g. a cube would be length*width*height).
How do you find volume in chemirtry?
It depends on what you want to find the volume of!
How can you find your volume?
An easy and low tech way to find the volume of an object is to measure the volume of water it displaces. Fill a container that has lines for measuring volume on it with enough water to fully submerge the object whose volume you will measure, but don't fill it all the way to the top. Write down the amount of water you start with, let's say 1 liter. Now put the object you want to measure into the water carefully so that you don't splash any water out and make sure that it is fully submerged. Now write down the new volume of water in the container, let's say it now reads 2.5 liters. Subtract the original volume from the new volume to find the volume of your object: 2.5L - 1L = 1.5 liters. Another way to find the volume of an object fill a container with water to the very top of the container. Place that container of water into an empty larger container. Put the object that you want to measure into the container of water slowly so that you don't spill any more water than the object pushes out on its own. When the object is fully submerged, it should have pushed out some water into the larger container. To ensure accuracy, the level of water in the water filled container that now also contains the object to be measured should still be at the very top of the container. Carefully remove the water/object filled container from the larger container so as to not spill any more water. Carefully pour the overflowed water into a smaller measuring vessel to find the volume of your object.
Will density change if you split an object?
ANSWER:No. The mass will be halved but the density will remain the same. ___________________________________________________________The density will remain the same since the formula for density of an object is mass/volume. When you split and object, the mass is divided by 2, and the volume is divided by 2 (or whatever fraction you want to cut your item). If you would, compare mass/volume=mass divided by 2/volume divided by 2.
Why would you want to find a surface area of an object?
If you were upholstering a couch, you'd want to know how much fabric to buy.
How do find volume?
If it is a regular solid, meaning all of the sides of the 3 dimensional figure are flat, then you measure and multiply length, width, and height. However, most objects are not regular solids (such as grapes or hands, etc.), so you can follow these steps: 1) pour water into some sort of container that measures the volume of liquids 2) put the object in the water (the entire object must be under water) 3) subtract the difference between the volume of the water before and after the object was put under water. If you do not want to get your precious items wet, you can use the following steps: 1) find the mass of the object 2) if you happen to know the density object, which is unlikely considering the fact that you do not know the volume of the object, then find it 3) divide mass/density
