Question

Describe an experiment to find the volume of an irregular stone.​

Answer 1

Explanation:

One way to measure the volume of any irregular object (in your case, a stone) is to submerge it completely under water and measure the change in the height of the water level. This change in the water level (let's say it goes from 50 mL to 65 mL) indicates that the stone has a volume of 15 mL.

Answer 2

Explanation:

• There is no formula; however, you can put the object in a jar of properly measured water and then submerge it in the water. Keep an eye on the ml (or liters depending on how large the object is). The volume of the object is the amount it rises or displaces the water to.

• Submerging an irregularly shaped object in a measuring cylinder partially filled with water can be used to determine its volume. The amount of water displaced, and hence the volume of the submerged object, is indicated by the rise in water level.
