How do you calculate volume for irregular objects?

Answer 1

How to calculate the volume for an irregular shape? Well, this is easy. First let me tell you the materials you need for this experiment.

1. Displacement can

2. Tripod Stand

3. A Beaker

4. A measuring cylinder

5. A thread

6. Water

7. You irregular object

Steps:

1. Place your displacement can on your tripod stand
2. Place your beaker right below the spout of your displacement can
3. fill the displacement can to its brim
4. let the water flow out of the spout into the beaker
5. when it has stopped, replace your beaker with a measuring cylinder
6. tie your irregular object to your piece of thread, make sure it is tight
7. slowly lower your irregular object into the displacement can
8. you will see water flowing out of the spout while you do that
9. after your irregular object is at the bottom of the displacement can, read your measuring cylinder at eye level

Extra

1. If you see an round curve when you are reading the measurement
2. read the lower line at eye level

You have found the volume of your irregular object! Congratulations.
