you use the water displacement test. the mass of the displaced water is equal to the mass of the object. because the density of water is one, this means that the volume of the water is equal to the mass of the object

That is only true if the body floats. Two blocks of different metals, but of the same size will displace the same volume of water. Their masses will not be the same.
