Measuring to see if something is level.
volume
A beaker is used to measure volume using water displacement.
The volume of an irregular object can be measured using the water displacement method. To do this, fill a graduated cylinder or overflow container with a known volume of water and then submerge the irregular object completely in the water. The increase in water level, indicated by the displacement, corresponds to the volume of the object. This method is effective for measuring objects that do not have a regular geometric shape.

Objects with irregular shapes (e.g., a crumpled paper ball) or objects that dissolve in water (e.g., sugar) cannot be accurately measured using the water displacement method, as it relies on the volume of water displaced by the object.
Displacement.
A gallon is a measure of volume. Volume can be measured by using one of the 2 most common methods: water displacement or a graduated cylinder.
Because some objects have an irregular shape, therefore cannot be measured like a square could.
Properties of matter that can be measured using tools include mass (measured using a balance), volume (measured using a graduated cylinder), density (calculated using mass and volume), temperature (measured using a thermometer), and pressure (measured using a pressure gauge).

By using Archimedes principle which is by immersing the object in water and noting its displacement by its apparent loss of weight when suspended on a balance
To measure shortening using the water displacement method, fill a measuring cup with a known amount of water. Add shortening into the water until the water level rises to the desired amount, then carefully remove the shortening and measure its volume. The difference between the initial water level and the final water level in the measuring cup represents the volume of shortening.
Displacement can be measured in any unit that measures distance but the SI unit is meters. When talking about the displacement of a ship, it refers to the mass of water that the ship displaces. This is actually equal to the weight of the ship and is usually expressed in metric tons.
