Question

How will you measure the volume of objects with irregular Shape?​

Answer 1

Answer:

If the object has an irregular shape , the volume can be measured using a displacement can . The displacement can is filled with water above a narrow spout and allowed to drain until the water is level with the spout. As the irregular object is lowered into the displacement can, the water level rises.

Answer 2

To measure the volume of objects with the irregular shape we can use the liquid displacement method.

• In this method, some liquid of known volume is kept in a measuring container. Then put the object into it.
• The surface level of the liquid will increase. From this, we can measure the liquid displacement in the container.
• Now if we multiply the liquid displacement and surface area of the measuring container then we will get the volume of the object.

• This measurement process shows us the benefits of Archimedes' law of buoyancy.
• According to this law, when an object is immersed in a liquid or gas medium it will make displacement in the medium which is equal to its own volume.
• This theory was established when Archimedes first successfully analyse a gold crown's purity by this method. He first found the volume of the crown and then its density. Thus the impurity of the crown was checked.
