V2- V1

V1 is the Initial Volume and V2 is the Final Volume. To obtain the Initial volume, measure the amount of water you have in your instrument before putting the object in and record that value. Lastly, measure the amount of water you have now that you've dropped your object in. Record this value too. Now you have your initital and final volume and are almost ready to get your Density! Mass, by the way, is a given. All you have to do is basically weigh whatever object you have :)

The water displacement method is a technique used to measure the volume of irregularly shaped objects, by submerging them in a container of water and measuring the change in water level. The volume of the object is equal to the volume of water displaced when the object is submerged.

The water displacement method is used to find the volume of an irregularly shaped object. This method was discovered by Archimedes in Ancient Greece, while he was taking a bath. He was so excited at his discovery that he ran through the streets of Athens naked, shouting Eureka!

-Start with a known volume of water. It is easiest to use a graduated cylinder or beaker, as they have volume measurements along the side. Record that volume.

-Add the solid object. Measure the new volume in the beaker.

-Subtract the two volumes, to get the amount of water displaced. This is the volume of the solid object.
If you are talking about water displacement to measure the volume of an object, you would use a graduated cylinder, if the object was small enough, and put water into the graduated cylinder, then you put the object in and however much the water rises, usually mm, that is the volume of the object

Hope this helped!

Displacement is the shortest distance between the initial and final point. The formula for displacement is X=1/2(v+v0)t. V is velocity, v0 is initial velocity, and t is time.
