explain two method to methods used to measure irregular solid
Answers
Answer:
Explanation:
Displacement is usually the method that is used to measure the volume of an irregularly shaped object. The object is simply submerged in a liquid and the volume of liquid that is displaced is measured.
As an example imagine a 100 ml graduated cylinder with 50 ml of water in it (half filled). A small statue of a dog is dropped into the cylinder and it is noted that the water level rises to 63 ml. The displacement of the water caused by the dog statue is 13 ml (63 - 50). So, the volume of the statue is 13 ml which is equal to 13 cm^3 (cubic centimeters).
Dissection is also used in the real world for volumes of large irregular objects. Objects of irregular shape are virtually broken down into regular shapes. The regular shape volumes are then calculated and summed to estimate the volume of the irregular shape.
I hope this answers your question.
Answer:
Some of the examples of regular objects are books, pencils, chalk box, basketball, etc. Those substances which do not have a fixed geometrical shape are called irregular objects. Some of the examples of irregular objects are the pieces of broken glass, a piece of stone, a broken piece of brick, leaf, etc.
