I believe you can use it to tell if gold is solid, or anything you would wan't to know the density of, for that matter

Is there only one way to measure volume?
there are 2 ways that I know about: the first way is length x width x height. And the second way is the water displacement method by Archimedes.
Water is water displacement method?
The water displacement method is used to find the volume of an irregularly shaped object. This method was discovered by Archimedes in Ancient Greece, while he was taking a bath. He was so excited at his discovery that he ran through the streets of Athens naked, shouting Eureka!-Start with a known volume of water. It is easiest to use a graduated cylinder or beaker, as they have volume measurements along the side. Record that volume.-Add the solid object. Measure the new volume in the beaker.-Subtract the two volumes, to get the amount of water displaced. This is the volume of the solid object.If you are talking about water displacement to measure the volume of an object, you would use a graduated cylinder, if the object was small enough, and put water into the graduated cylinder, then you put the object in and however much the water rises, usually mm, that is the volume of the objectHope this helped!
How do you find the volume of a kaleidoscope?
Well, this problem does not have quite enough information to be able to give you a direct answer. But I shall try anyhow... One method would be to use calculus and integrate the equation that describes cross sections of the shape. Another would be to wrap it up and submerse it in water to see the amount of water it displaces, and measuring that will give you the volume. Oh wait, a kaleidoscope is basically an extruded surface right? so find the area of the base and multiple by the height. I hope that helps.
What did the Powhatan Indians drink?
They drank whatever they could find, wich would be mostly water or goat milk.
What kind of problems do the Jamestown colonist face when they attempt to establish a settlement?
When the colonists settled there they didn't realize that the area was a swampy area full of mosquitoes and disease spread quickly. Also they had hard Winters and Indians attacking and couldn't find water. But if they did find water it would have helped, and eventually they did.
How would you find the volume of a cork?

What is the name for the method of using the displacements of water to find the volume of a strange shaped object?
Displacement method.... Is the method to find volume of an irregular object
How will you find the volume of an irregularly shaped object that would dissolve in water?
Use volume displacement method.
How do you find the volume of a cork stopper?
By carrying out the water displacement method
What is an alternative to water displacement for finding the volume of a solid?
If the solid is a regular shape, such as a cylinder or sphere, you can find the appropriate dimensions and use formulas to find the result. If it is of a irregular size, I doubt if there is another method (even if there is, displacement of water would most likely be the simplest method)
What method of measurement is used to find the volume of an irregular solid?
The water displacement method is typically used to find the volume of an irregular solid. The object is submerged in a known amount of water, and the increase in water volume is measured. This increase in volume is equal to the volume of the irregular solid.
What is the method called when you want to find the volume of an irregular shaped objiect?
water displacement
What is the method called when you want to find the volume of an irregular shaped object?
water displacement
What method is the best way to find the volume of a sample of water?
Use a graduated cylinder and the water displacement method. Pour the sample of water in the graduated cylinder and find its meniscus. That is its volume.

How can you find the density of a rock or key?
Find the mass using a scale. Find the volume by the water displacement method. Divide mass by volume and that equals density.
