Yes, but not using water. You need to use a liquid in which the solid is completely insoluble. Therefore water will not work at all, but you could probably find a liquid in which sugar is not soluble (although it could be hard to find -- I don't know of any myself -- perhaps hexanes or oil would work).

Why wont density formula work for all solids?
If the solid is soluble in water, you'll end up with a solution. For example, sugar is a solid, but it dissolves in water. So you couldn't tell the density of sugar (at least not in the direct way of the displacement method) by placing it in water.. This would also apply to salt, sand, ect.
What cannot be measured by the water displacement method?
Objects with irregular shapes (e.g., a crumpled paper ball) or objects that dissolve in water (e.g., sugar) cannot be accurately measured using the water displacement method, as it relies on the volume of water displaced by the object.
Which one of these can not be used with the displacement method a rock a sugar cube block of wood oxygen gas a whale a coin?
A sugar cube, since the sugar cube will dissolve in the water and you will not be able to measure the increase in volume.
What is the volume of 10 grams of sugar?
The volume of 10 grams of sugar depends on the density of the sugar. The volume can be calculated by dividing the mass by the density of the sugar. For example, if the density of sugar is 1.59 g/cm3, then the volume of 10 grams of sugar would be approximately 6.29 cm3.
When sugar is dissolved in water the density of the solution decreases?
No, the density of the solution is greater.
