There is no formula for this. You have to measure the volume.
The volume of a solid object such as a rock or pebble can be determined by submerging it in a liquid in a graduated cylinder or other container. The difference in the volume of the liquid is the volume of the object.
The formula for calculating the volume of fluid to the fluid container in which it is located. For example. If the container is cylindrical. Area x height = volume of liquid
Volume displacement is the method used to find the volume of small or irregularly shaped objects by noting the difference in the level of liquid before and after after immersing an object into a graduated cylinder or beaker of liquid. The difference between the before and after levels of the liquid is the volume of an immersed object.
First you put the liquid in the graduated cylinder.Then you read the volume at the bottom of the meniscus.The meniscus is the slight curve at the edges of the surface where the liquid touches the container.
