Fill a market beaker to a specific measured volume. (Eg. 50cm cubed, make sure you have not filled the beaker with water). Now place the object in the beaker with water. The water level should rise (Eg. from 50cm cubed to 60cm cubed). The difference in the original volume and the final volume is the volume of the object. That is the water displacement method.

What is the name for the method of using the displacements of water to find the volume of a strange shaped object?
Displacement method.... Is the method to find volume of an irregular object
How do you determine the mass of an irregular shaped object using displacement method?
The displacement method is used to determine volume. However, if you know the density, the displacement test can give volume, which is used to work out mass by the formula m = dV
What do you call the procedure that helps you find the volume of an irregularly shaped object using a graduated cylinder?
It is the displacement method.
How can you measure volume using displacement?
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.
