It is quite simple if it is a regular shaped object like a cylinder or a cube. For example if you wanted calculate the volume of a cylinder you need to know the radius of the circular cross-section of the cylinder - this is the measurement from the centre of the circle, to the outer-edge and then multiply that by the height of the cylinder. For irregular shaped objects don't think there is a simple mathematical way if you don't know the density but you can always use water displacement to get a volume measurement. Just drop the object you want to know the volume off into a graduated cylinder partially filled with water - the amount the level rises will be roughly equal to the volume of the object you dropped in.
If it's a solid multiply the length times the width times the height. If it's a liquid use a graduated cylinder If it's an irregular solid drop it into a beaker, flask, graduated cylinder, or any other water-measuring tool and record how much the water goes up from the original height to the height when the irregular solid was dropped in, and subtract.
You can find volume by using displacement:The way you can do this is by filling up a beaker of a graduated cylinder or other measuring device with water.You drop some water in there and then you record how much you dropped. Then you put an object in making sure the object is completely submerged.The water will rise, and you record how much it rose, in Units of Volume (cm3).Then you subtract how much water you put in with the rise of the water when the object was put in.And that's how you find volume by displacement.
You need the heat capacities for these substances in order to answer this question. If you have those, it's simple algebra.
It depends on what percent it was dropped.
density = mass/volume → The density of the rock is the mass of the rock divided by the difference in the volume from before the rock was dropped in and afterwards. Its units are grams/ml
The volume of the metal can be calculated by finding the difference in water levels before and after adding the metal (28.69 ml - 21.76 ml = 6.93 ml). The density of the metal can be calculated using the formula: density = mass / volume. So, density = 91.66 g / 6.93 ml = 13.23 g/ml.
If you drop a piece of metal into a graduated cylinder partially filled with water, the water level will rise due to displacement of water by the metal. This can be used to determine the volume of the metal piece.
65 - 40 = 25 ml
The density of what? But regardless the answer to that: Density is mass per volume. Mass is not influenced by the upward force of the fluid in which the object is submerged. The weight, on the other hand, is. Weight is a force, and mass is an amount of matter.
The volume increase will be equal to the volume of the gold submerged in the water. The volume of the gold can be calculated by dividing its mass by its density (19.32 g/cm³ for gold). Submerging the gold in water will displace an equal volume of water, resulting in the measured volume increase.
The rock's volume is simply the amount of water the rock displaced (52mL - 32mL), so 20mL. The density is mass over volume, so 40g/20mL, which simplifies to 2 g/mL: 40 divided by 20 is 2, and then the unit is just mass (g) over volume (mL).
She dropped out.
5 ml. Just do the volume after minus the volume before. This is the water displacement method.

The plastic rings around graduated cylinders are bumpers designed to protect the glass cylinder from damage if it is accidentally knocked or dropped. They help to absorb impact and prevent the glass from breaking.
