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.

How do you find the volume of an irregular shape in a graduated cylinder?
Find the density and mass of the object d=m/v and plug in your numbers and solve for volume
What method is used to find the density of an irregular shape object?
First 'weigh" the ojbect on a scale. this gives the mass. 2nd use the water displacement method to find the volume. Then divide Density = mass / volume.
Is it easier to find the mass of an object with a large mass or smaller mass?
Large mass
What is the method called when you want to find the volume of an irregular shaped object?
water displacement
How do you find the volume of an irregular object which floats?
If you push it down, you can measure the volume of the displaced liquid.
