Volume displacement is the method used to find the volume of small or irregularly shaped objects by noting the difference in the level of liquid before and after after immersing an object into a graduated cylinder or beaker of liquid. For a small object immersed in a graduated cylinder or beaker, the volume displaced by the object can be read directly from the scale on the container.
It is quite simple if it is a regular shaped object like a cylinder or a cube. For example if you wanted calculate the volume of a cylinder you need to know the radius of the circular cross-section of the cylinder - this is the measurement from the centre of the circle, to the outer-edge and then multiply that by the height of the cylinder. For irregular shaped objects don't think there is a simple mathematical way if you don't know the density but you can always use water displacement to get a volume measurement. Just drop the object you want to know the volume off into a graduated cylinder partially filled with water - the amount the level rises will be roughly equal to the volume of the object you dropped in.

One way to calculate the volume of an irregularly shaped object is by using the water displacement method. Submerge the object in a known volume of water and measure the change in volume to determine the object's volume.
The procedure is known as the displacement method. It involves partially submerging the irregularly shaped object in a graduated cylinder filled with water, measuring the change in water level, and using this change to calculate the object's volume.

You could use a water displacement method, where you submerge the object in a graduated cylinder filled with water and measure the change in water volume. Alternatively, you could use a 3D scanner to create a digital model of the object and calculate the volume from the model.

A graduated cylinder can be used to measure the volume of irregular-shaped objects by displacement method. Place the object in the cylinder filled with water, and measure the change in water volume to calculate the object's volume.
To find the density of an irregular shaped object, you would need a balance to measure its mass, a graduated cylinder to measure its volume by displacement method, and a ruler to measure its dimensions for calculations.
The crescent shaped surface of liquid that forms in pipettes and graduated cylinders is called a meniscus.
