A ruler or other measuring instrument may be used to determine the dimensions of a regularly shaped abject, and the volume may then be calculated by applying the dimensions to the applicable formula.

How can you use the displacement of water to measure the volume of an object?

You fill up water ina beaker, measure the volume of the water as it originally was, then drop in an irregulary-shaped object, measure that volume, and subtrect the two. The difference is the volume of the object.


How do you find the density of an irregular shaped object that sinks?

Measure the volume of the object which is same as the volume of the displaced liquid in which that sinks. And measure the mass of the same object from a weighing machine. then use density = mass/volume


How do you measure an irregularly shaped object?

You can measure an irregularly shaped object by using a ruler, tape measure, or string to measure the object's length, width, and height, and then calculate its volume or surface area depending on the shape of the object. Alternatively, you can use a water displacement method by submerging the object in water and measuring the volume of water displaced to determine the object's volume.


How is the density of a regularly shaped object determined by experiment?

If the shape of the object is regular (a cube or a sphere) then the volume can be calculated from the measurement of the object's key dimension(s). And the object's mass can be determined in a mass balance. Give the mass and volume the density is calculated by dividing the mass by the volume. Where the object's shape is irregular, the volume may be determined by measuring the volume of a liquid displaced by submerging the object completely in that liquid.


List the steps to find the density of a regularly shaped object?

Measure the object's mass using a scale. Measure the object's volume by calculating its dimensions (length x width x height). Divide the mass by the volume to find the density of the object. The unit of density will be mass per unit volume (e.g., g/cm3).


How do you calculate density of a regular shaped object?

To calculate the density of a regular shaped object, you need to measure its mass and volume. The density is then calculated by dividing the mass of the object by its volume. The formula for density is: density = mass / volume.


The can that use to measure the volume of solid?

well, for an irregularly shaped object it is a eureka can or a graduated cylinder, but for a regularly shaped object it is a simple formula: Length*Width*Height. I am 10 years old and learned that in science class.


What is a way in which the volume of an irregular shaped object can be measured?

One way to measure the volume of an irregular shaped object is by using the water displacement method. Submerge the object in a known volume of water and measure the increase in water level, which is equal to the volume of the object.


Why would you measure volume by immersion?

For an irregular shaped object that cannot be measured and then volume calculated with a formula.


What is the formula for measuring the volume of a box-shaped object?

-- Measure length, width, and height. -- Multiply (length) times (width) times (height). -- The result is the volume of the box-shaped object.


How would you fond the volume of an irregular shaped object that floats?

If possible, fully immerse the object in water, and measure the volume of displaced water.


How can you calculate the volume of an irregularly shaped object?

If the object in question is water proof, and small enough. You can measure the amount of displaced water when it is placed in a tank full of water, this may not work for a lot of things but it can help when attempting to measure some objects.
