What is the formula to calculate the volume of irregular object?
water displacement
What is the formula for finding the volume for a rectangle?
A rectangle has no volume, it is a 2 dimensional object.
Formula for finding the volume of a square?
Vol = 0 That is because a square is a 2-dimensional object and 2-d objects do not have a volume.
How can you use displacement to calculate the volume of an irregular shape object?
Partly fill a container with a liquid and mark its level on the side of the container. Then submerge the irregular object in the liquid and mark the new level. The volume of the irregular object is the difference in the two volumes marked in the container. Obviously, you need to ensure that the object is not soluble in the liquid. A variation on this method is to start with a container that is on a collecting tray. Fill the container to the brim, then gently insert the object and measure the liquid that overflows into the tray. This method requires only one measurement of the liquid's volume but it also requires great care to ensure that the object is submerged gently and that the meniscus (if any) is the same before and after. Not easy to do.
How do you calculate the volume of an irregular sphere?
We get the idea that an "irregular sphere" is not a sphere. At that point, we knowexactly what it isn't, but not much yet about what it is. So you have to reveal a lotmore about it before anyone can calculate its volume. Like, for example, less infoabout what the object is not like, and more definition of its actual shape.
