mililiters
You would use Volume.
No - kilograms are units of weight - not volume !
You fill up water ina beaker, measure the volume of the water as it originally was, then drop in an irregulary-shaped object, measure that volume, and subtrect the two. The difference is the volume of the object.

Which lab tool might you use to measure the volume of a liquid?
The answer is a graduated cylinder.

In the SI system you would use the cubic metre.
A graduated cylinder is commonly used to measure liquid volume in milliliters accurately. The markings on the cylinder allow for precise measurement of the volume of liquid.
The technique used to measure the volume of irregular objects is called water displacement. It involves submerging the object in a container of water and measuring the volume of water displaced by the object. This volume is equal to the volume of the object.
There are three ways to measure volume. If you are measuring a liquid, you need a graduated cyliner. If you are measuring the volume of a regular solid, you need a ruler to measure length, width, and height. You would then use the formula V=LxWxH. The third way to measure volume is to use displacement to find the volume of an irregular solid. You would put a certain amount of water in a graduated cylinder, write the starting amount down. Add the irregular solid to the graduated cylinder. Record the ending amount of liquid and subtract the ending amount minus the starting amount.
To measure volume
In a modern lab, you would use a digital scale to measure mass. Historically, balances and spring scales were used.
One way to find the volume of a large irregular shape object is to use the displacement method. Submerge the object in a container of water and measure the volume of water displaced. This volume is equal to the volume of the irregular object.
I would place it in a container full of liquid after measuring the liquid. I would measure the amount of liquid displaced by the object. That amount is equal to the volume of the irregular object if it is fully submerged in the liquid.
Scientists might use tape measures to quickly and accurately measure the length, width, and height of objects in the field or lab. This can provide precise data for experiments or research studies involving physical dimensions.
