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 do you use to find the volume of a circle?
circle does not have volume
What method would you use to find the volume of a liquid?
eat a burger
How will you find the volume of an irregularly shaped object that would dissolve in water?
Use volume displacement method.
If you wanted to find the volume of a necklace what method would you use?
water displacement
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 would you use to find the volume of a cube?
Multiple the length by the width by the height
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.
How do you get a density of a block?
You will need the mass and volume of the block. To find mass, use an electronic balance. To find volume, use length x breadth x height. For irregular solid, use the water displacement method. The density is mass divided by volume.
How do I register to use pebble?
How do I register to use pebble?
How to calculate density weight for aluminum?
Get a sample of the metal. Use a scale to find its mass. If it is shape is that of a rectangular solid (box) measure length, width, and height and multiply to find volume. If it is irregularly shaped, use the water displacement method to find its volume. Divide the mass by the volume to get the density.
How could you measure the volume of granulated sugar?
Use the water displacement method
