Which instrument could be used to determine the volume of an irregulary shaped soild?

A graduated cylinder may be used for small objects that are insoluble in a selected liquid. But that method would not work for determining the volume of a sugar cube (soluble in water) or a motor car (won't fit in a graduated cylinder!).

How do you find a volume of a L-Shaped figure?
An L shaped figure is a plane figure and so will not have a volume.
What is the volume of a figure when the surface area is 294?
The surface area of a figure does not provide enough information to determine its volume. Indeed, it does no even determine its shape.The volume can have any positive value up to 474.018 cubic units.The surface area of a figure does not provide enough information to determine its volume.

What piece of lab equipment would you use to determine the volume of an irregularly shaped object?
A beaker. Simply fill the beaker with a known quantity of liquid. Drop the object into the beaker, and measure the difference in the fluid levels.
Why does the first method for determining volume work only for a regularly shaped object?
Because only regular-shaped objects have a consistent length, width, height, and shape. When dealing with an object composed of differing shapes, your must calculate each portion separately and then add them. For instance, if you have a swimming pool of two depths and want to determine cubic feet, you would have to calculate the volume for each section and then add them.
How can you calculate the density of a screw?
density = mass/volume Determine the volume of the screw by using the water displacement method (see related link below). Determine the mass of the screw on a balance or scale. Divide the mass by the volume, and that will be the density.
How can you use the displacement of water to measure the volume of an object?
You fill up water ina beaker, measure the volume of the water as it originally was, then drop in an irregulary-shaped object, measure that volume, and subtrect the two. The difference is the volume of the object.
What tool is used to measure volume of a regularly shaped object?
A ruler or other measuring instrument may be used to determine the dimensions of a regularly shaped abject, and the volume may then be calculated by applying the dimensions to the applicable formula.
How can you find the volume of an irregulary shaped object?
If the body is a solid not soluble in water then we can keep it immersed in a measurable jar. Just noting down the level of water raised and getting the difference in the level with the initial one, we can get the volume of the irregular shaped object.
How can you determine if something will float or sink?
the volume of the instrument
What can you determine from an irregular shaped object by its displacement?
The volume of the object.
How can you use water diplacements to find the volume of an irregulary shaped object?
First you need to get a graduaded cylinder and then you need to fill it up enough to submerge the entire object then you drop the object into the water and you look how much the water level rised and that is the volume of the object.
What is the best measuring tool to determine the volume of an irregular shaped object?
i dont know the instrument but i know experiment ..... take volumetric flask full with water insert subject below water level the displacement of level in volume is the volume of that subject.... By Archimedes principle
What is an instrument used to measure volume of liquids and irregularly shaped objects?
graduated cylinder
What information about a mineral or rock is needed to determine its density?
To determine the density of an object, you need its mass and volume. If the object is oddly shaped, you can determine its volume by measuring the volume of water displaced when thee object is submerged in a container of water.
Could the water displacement method be used to determine the volume of a regular shaped object as well as an irregular shaped object?
Yes
When would you use displacement and when would you use math to determine volume of an object?
I would assume that you would use displacement to determine volume when the object is extremely complicatedly shaped.
How can you measure the volume of an irregulary shaped object?
Drop the object into a graduated cylinder 50 mL half full of water and find the difference in volume. If it is too big for a measuring cylinder then make a small hole in the side of a plastic container, fill with water to this hole, drop the object in and collect the run off. Measure the volume of the run off.
