QuestionWhat is the formula to find the volume of an irregular object?Community AnswerThere is no formula; however, you can take the object and place it in a jar of precisely measured water, then place the object in the water. Watch the amount of ml (or liters depending on how large the object is). The amount it goes up or displaces the water to is the volume of the object.

QuestionWhy does one use a measuring cylinder to find the volume of an irregular solid object?Community AnswerYou need to find the difference between initial and final readings to know the volume of your object.
-
QuestionIs water displacement a good way to find the volume of irregular objects?Community AnswerYes, it is.
-
QuestionWho invented the first way of determining the volume of irregular-shaped objects?Community AnswerArchimedes, since he found that objects displace water when he was in a bathtub.
-
QuestionWhat is the formula of an irregular object?Community AnswerFirst you find the regulate Schindler, then you apply it gently to the contortion. Add the two together for your formula.
-
QuestionIf the object is hollow, will there be any difference in its volume?Community AnswerA hallow object will be less dense than an equally sized solid object. However, the volume will be the same.
-
QuestionWhat will happen if the volume of an irregular solid is found instead of water?Community AnswerSet the cylinder on a flat surface at room temperature. If there are bubbles present, wait a few moments for them to pop. Tilt the cylinder, and gently slide the object down until it's fully submerged. Subtract the original measurement from the new measurement. The difference is the volume of the object.

QuestionWhat is the of volume of an irregular shape?Community AnswerThe final measurement is with the object and water, minus the measurement of the water at first.

QuestionA student is measuring the volume of water in a graduated cylinder. She measures the volume of water as 80.0 mL. She discovered that the actual volume was 80.1 mL. Is her measurement accurate?VerinTop AnswererYes, it would be considered accurate since the expected answer: a) is almost equal the actual answer, and b) falls within the range of exprimental error (things like human or equipment error).

QuestionWhat is the instrument used to measure the volume of and irregularly shapeed solid?VerinTop AnswererYou would use either a measuring cylinder like the article says above, or use a Eureka can, which pours the water displaced by the object whose volume you're measuring into a measuring cylinder.
-
QuestionHow do I find an irregular object's density if it cannot fit into a graduated cylinder?VerinTop AnswererUse a Eureka can, which is a) larger than the cylinder, and b) will pour the displaced water out of the can into a graduated cylinder to be measured.
-
QuestionWhat is the name of the procedure when finding the volume of an irregular object?VerinTop AnswererThe Archimedes' principle, named after the Greek mathematician and inventor who came up with it.
