put some water in a measuring cylinder, take the reading and then place the pebble in the water and take over the reading.Then you minus the two values to get the volume of the pebble\rock

What method is the best way to find the volume of a rock?

For a stone or a pebble the best method is to use a graduated cylinder and the displacement method. Fill the jar with water to a level so that the pebble can be completely submerged. Read of the volume. Then insert the stone or pebble into the cylinder and read off the new volume. The difference between the two will be the required volume. However, for a rock the equipment needs to be scaled up and graduated cylinders don't usually come that big. So you will need a bucket or something in which the rock can fit and a tray or large enough container to catch the spill from the bucket (see next paragraph). Put the bucket in the tray. Fill the bucket with water - full to the top. Then very gently lower the stone into the bucket, catching all the spilling water in the tray. Measure the water in the tray using whatever measuring equipment you can get hold of. That is the volume of the rock.


What formula do we use to find the volume of regular objects?

The formula of volume


How do you find volume in mL?

You can't. The whole point of finding volume is to convert mL to cm3. To do this, use use the rule: 1mL = 1cm3


What units would you use to find volume?

You could use cubic yards or cubic meters.


How would you use the density formula to find the volume or mass of a sample?

You have to know two out of three ... mass, volume, density ... then you can find the missing one. If density is missing . . . Density = (mass)/(volume) If mass is missing . . . Mass = (density) x (volume) If volume is missing . . . Volume = (mass)/(density)

What method is the best way to find the volume of a sample of water?

Use a graduated cylinder and the water displacement method. Pour the sample of water in the graduated cylinder and find its meniscus. That is its volume.

What method is used to find the density of an irregular shape object?

First 'weigh" the ojbect on a scale. this gives the mass. 2nd use the water displacement method to find the volume. Then divide Density = mass / volume.

Can you use Volume displacement method for objects that float?

Yes, the volume displacement method can be used for objects that float. This method calculates the volume of an irregular shaped object by measuring the water displaced when the object is submerged. The difference in water levels before and after submerging the object is used to find the volume of the object.

How will you find the volume of an irregularly shaped object that would dissolve in water?

To find the volume of an irregularly shaped object that would dissolve in water, you can use the water displacement method. Fill a known volume of water in a container, note the initial water level, then submerge the object in the water and measure the new water level. The difference in water levels is the volume of the object.


Explain how to find the density of a substance?

Density is calculated by dividing the mass of a substance by its volume. To find the volume, you can measure the dimensions if it is a regular shape, or use water displacement method for irregular shapes. Once you have the mass and volume, divide the mass by the volume to find the density.
