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.
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.
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
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.
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.
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).
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.
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.
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.
For an irregular shaped object that cannot be measured and then volume calculated with a formula.
-- Measure length, width, and height. -- Multiply (length) times (width) times (height). -- The result is the volume of the box-shaped object.
If possible, fully immerse the object in water, and measure the volume of displaced water.
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.
