How do you find the volume of irregular objects?

The mass you can measure on a balance or a scale, and the volume is the amount of space the object occupies. You can find the volume of an irregular object by immersing it in water in a beaker or other container with volume markings, and by seeing how much the level goes up. read more

To measure the volume of an irregular solid, pour water in a graduated cylinder, read the water volume, immerse the object in the cylinder, and subtract the initial water volume from the new volume to get the volume of the object. read more

Finding the volume of a regular object, such as cube or sphere, is typically done using an equation. Irregular objects like a screw or rock require a more hands on approach. Luckily, there is a straightforward way to calculate the volume of irregular objects using the water levels in a graduated cylinder. read more
