If the solid is a regular shape, such as a cylinder or sphere, you can find the appropriate dimensions and use formulas to find the result. If it is of a irregular size, I doubt if there is another method (even if there is, displacement of water would most likely be the simplest method)

Finding the volume of a solid when would water displacement be helpful?

When you are trying to find the volume of an irregularly shaped object.


What is the difference in finding the density of a rectangular solid object and the density of an irregular solid object?

In finding the density of a rectangular solid object, you can simply calculate it by dividing the mass by the volume using the formula density = mass/volume. However, for an irregular solid object, you may need to use techniques like displacement method or water displacement method to determine its volume before calculating the density.


How can you find the volume of a solid that is not rectangular?

Water displacement


True or false one method used to measure the volume of an irregular solid involves immersing the object in the water?

Traditionally, displacement is when you place a solid in a known amount of liquid, then determine the volume based on how much liquid is displaced by the object. You can't displace a liquid with another liquid and find its volume. With that said, the statement "One method used to determine the volume of solids and liquids is displacement" must be completely true. However, as we established in the previous paragraph, displacement is not a method for finding the volume of a liquid. Because an "and" operator is used in the statement, that means displacement must apply to both solids and liquids, or the statement as a whole is unsound. And since we previously determined that displacement is not a method for finding the volume of a liquid, this makes the statement unsound and false.


What method of measurement is used to find the volume of an irregular solid?

The water displacement method is typically used to find the volume of an irregular solid. The object is submerged in a known amount of water, and the increase in water volume is measured. This increase in volume is equal to the volume of the irregular solid.


If a liquid is to be used to determine the volume of a solid by displacement method what three criteria must be made?

Two of them are: the volume of the water, and how much there is.


What is the method used to find out the volume of an irregular solid?

One method to find the volume of an irregular solid is by using the water displacement method. This involves submerging the solid in a known volume of water and measuring the increase in water level, which corresponds to the volume of the solid.


What are the two types volume?

Liquid volume (displacement) and Solid volume (length x width x height)


Can Solid volumes can always be determined by the displacement method?

Yes, solid volumes can always be determined by the displacement method, as long as the solid is denser than the fluid it is submerged in. The method involves measuring the volume of liquid displaced by the solid when it is fully submerged, which is equal to the volume of the solid.


What is the formula in finding the volume of irregular solid?

There is no formula for finding the volume of an irregular solid. One method is water displacement which works as follows: Fill a graduated container with water and read off the volume of water. Then you submerge the irregular shaped solid in the water and measure the volume inside the container again. The difference between the two levels is the volume of the solid. This clearly cannot work for solids that are soluble in water. Other fluids may have to be used in such cases. Also, it will not work if the solid floats on water, but in that case you can submerge it using additional weights (whose volume you have measured).


Describe the method for finding volume of the irregular shaped solid object?

To find the volume of an irregular-shaped solid object, you can use a method called displacement. Fill a container with water, then submerge the object in the water and measure the amount of water displaced. The volume of the object is equal to the volume of water displaced, which can be calculated using the formula for volume of a regular shape.


What is The differences in finding the density of rectangular solid object and finding the density of an irregular solid object?

To find the density of a rectangular solid object, you would calculate the mass of the object by multiplying its volume by its density. For an irregular solid object, you would typically measure its mass using a balance and its volume using displacement of water, then divide the mass by the volume to find the density. The main difference lies in how you determine the volume of the object, with rectangular solids having a straightforward formula for volume calculation compared to irregular shapes which require more complex methods.
