Apparatus needed: Displacement can, sinker such as rock, calibrated beaker, string to attach to rock, tripod stand ( not necessary ) or level surface.

Fill displacement can with water, place on tripod stand or flat surface, at the opening or ' side shoot ' of displacement can place calibrated beaker.

Dip or place the rock with string attached into water of displacement can, a volume of water will flow or fall through the opening of displacement can, into calibrated beaker.

This water, known as the excess water is equivalent to that of the volume of rock, simply observe the meniscus ( of calibrated beaker) and that measure will be the volume.

How can you figure out the density of a irregular rock?

To determine the density of an irregular rock, you can use the water displacement method. First, measure the initial volume of water in a graduated cylinder. Then, submerge the rock completely in the water and measure the new water level; the difference in volume indicates the rock's volume. Finally, divide the mass of the rock (measured using a scale) by the volume obtained from the water displacement to calculate the density.


How do you calculate the density of an irregular shape object such as a rock?

To calculate the density of an irregular object like a rock, you can measure its mass using a scale and then determine its volume using the water displacement method. Once you have the mass and volume, you can divide the mass by the volume to obtain the density of the rock.


How would you find the volume of an irregularly shaped object such as rock?

You can find the volume of an irregularly shaped object, like a rock, by using the water displacement method. Submerge the object in a known volume of water in a container. Measure the increase in water level, which equals the volume of the rock.


How would you determine the density of an irregular shaped rock?

Not always easy. Since density is defined as the mass of a unit volume of material,you would measure the volume of the rock by putting it into a container half filled with water and then measure the volume change.


Describe a method that the student could use to find the volume of this rock?

You can find the volume of a small rock in no time at all. Just fill up a container that is marked by volume with water and record the volume. Then drop the small rock inside the container. Record the new volume. Find the difference between the new and old volumes. This is the volume of the small rock. You could do this in any liquid.


Best way to measure the vplume of irregularly sharpe rock?

To measure the volume of irregularly shaped rocks, you can use the water displacement method. Submerge the rock in a container of water and measure the change in water volume as the rock displaces the water. The difference in water volume before and after submerging the rock will give you the volume of the rock.


How do you get the volume of rock?

To calculate the volume of a rock, you can use the formula for the volume of a sphere (4/3 * pi * r^3) if the rock is spherical, or use the formula for the volume of a rectangular prism (length * width * height) if the rock has a more regular shape. Otherwise, you can measure the volume by water displacement: submerge the rock in water and measure the increase in water level to find its volume.


What do you do in order to measure the volume of rock?

To measure the volume of rock, you can use the water displacement method. Simply fill a container with a known volume of water, then submerge the rock in the water and measure the change in water level. The increase in water level corresponds to the volume of the rock.


How would you find the volume of a stone by using water displacement?

Place a rock in a container, add water, and record the volume.Pour an unknown amount of water into a glass container, add the rock, and note the water level; the unknown amount of water plus the weight of the rock is the volume of the rock.Pour a known amount of water into a glass container, add the rock, and note the new water level; the difference in water levels is the volume of the rock.Water displacement will not work.

How can you measure volume of the rock?

it is easiest to do with small rocks, but can be dome with anything if you can move it and have a container large enough to hold it. place water into a container with measurment markings and place the rock into it. the amount the water level rises, called displacement, is the volume of the rock.


If you found a rock and you want to measure its volume what would you do to measure the rock volume?

Use water displacement. Measure water before you put the rock in it, and then again afterwards. Put a measuring cup large enough to hold the rock in a pot large enough to hold the measuring cup and fill the measuring cup to the very top with water. Lower the rock into the measuring cup carefully so that the water flows over and into the pot. Carefully remove the measuring cup with the rock without spilling any additional water into the pot. When you measure the water in the pot it will equal to the volume of the rock (accuracy will depend on how careful you were). This is displacement measuring.
