It depends on what object you are trying to measure.

Displacement is appropriate for a medium sized, non-soluble object, of any shape. It would be pretty useless if you wanted to measure the volume of a concert hall or a needle! And it would not work for a sugar cube either.

A micrometre would be appropriate for small objects with simple geometry, such as a needle or possibly a sugar cube. But is would be no use for a concert hall nor an irregular object.

A ruler would be appropriate for large objects with a simple geometry such as a concert hall. But it would be no use for a needle, nor for an irregular object.
