The volume of an object can be determined by the displacement of water. By dropping the object into a measuring container of water, where the volume of the water is known, the object's volume can then be calculated by subtracting the volume of the water by the volume of the water and object combined.

What is the tool to measure volume using water displacement?
A beaker is used to measure volume using water displacement.
Why do you measure the mass of an object before measuring its volume using the displacement method?
To get the accurate weight/mass before the objects gets wet.
How do you find volume using water displacement?
displace it
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.
