What is the difference between the standard volume and gross volume?

Gross volume is the volume at actual condition whereas standard volume is at standard Pressure/Temperature condition.


How do you calculate the volume of an irregular object?

The volume of a solid object such as a rock or pebble can be determined by submerging it in a liquid in a graduated cylinder or other container. The difference in the volume of the liquid is the volume of the object.


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.


How do you find the volume of the rock?

By its mass sweety. :) * * * * * It depends on the size of the rock. If you can lift it, find a container that is big enough to hold it. Put that container inside a collecting tray. Fill the container with water (or another liquid) to a level at least as high as the rock. Mark that level. Put the rock in the container gently. Measure the rise in the level of water and, if appropriate, collect the water that overflowed into the collecting tray. Calculate the difference in the two water levels. Add the overflow volume if appropriate. That sum is the volume of water displaced by the rock and so the volume of the rock. If the rock is too massive to lift or be contained in something you will need to estimate its volume. That can be done by profiling its shape and partitioning that into smaller, more regular shapes. Calculate the volumes of all those shapes and sum the answers.


How do you calculate warehouse area from volume?

It is not possible to calculate the area given only the volume.
