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.

What is the tool to measure volume using water displacement?
A beaker is used to measure volume using water displacement.
What is the Archimedes principle of displacement?
I think it is the volume displacement. When you put an object into a container with a known volume of water, the water will rise, and that change of volume is the volume of the object you introduced into the container.
How can you measure volume using displacement?
The volume of an object can be determined by the displacement of water. By dropping the object into a measuring container of water, where the volume of the water is known, the object's volume can then be calculated by subtracting the volume of the water by the volume of the water and object combined.
Is swept volume the same as displacement volume of a cylinder?
Yes, that is correct
Is volume displacement of a cylinder more accurate than measuring the dimensions?
Volume displacement is a good way to find the volume of a cylinder, and is probably better than simply measuring it. To measure and calculate a cylinder's volume, you must use pi, which is typically rounded to 3.14. Rounding means less accuracy, and there should be no rounding involved in volume displacement.
