There will generally not be a formula and the volume will have to be measured in some other way.

∙ 8y agoThis is done via a process called integration. In principle, you divide the solid into thin flat slices, calculate the volume of each (thickness x area), and add everything up. If the slices are themselves irregular, you divide them up into thin strips, calculate the volume of each, and add up.

What is the formula of an irregular solid?
LxWxH
What is the formula for the volume of a rectangular solid?
The formula for a rectangular solid is to multiply the measurements of Length(L), Width(W) and Height(H). Ex: L x W x H = Volume
How do you measure a irregular solid?
You use a graduated cylinder to measure the volume of the rock with the water and the water without the rock
What instrument measures the volume of a rectangular solid?
If you have a ruler then you could measure the length width and height and then multiply them together. (LWH is the formula)

What is the formula in finding the volume of irregular solid?
There is no formula for finding the volume of an irregular solid. One method is water displacement which works as follows: Fill a graduated container with water and read off the volume of water. Then you submerge the irregular shaped solid in the water and measure the volume inside the container again. The difference between the two levels is the volume of the solid. This clearly cannot work for solids that are soluble in water. Other fluids may have to be used in such cases. Also, it will not work if the solid floats on water, but in that case you can submerge it using additional weights (whose volume you have measured).
What is the formula for to fnd the volume of the irregular solid?
ask the gods
What example of finding volume?
There kind of solid object will determine the formula that will be used to find its volume.
What is the unit for irregular solid volume?
Irregular solid volume is still measured in cm3 etcTo Find the Volume of an irregular object you can,Measure out a proportional amount of water to the object you are finding the volume ofPut the object in the container of waterSee how much the water has risen byYou now have the volume!!(The difference between the new and old volumes of water is the volume
Why find mass of irregular solid before finding volume?
So that the irregular solid isn't wet when you place it on the balance, since that would make it appear to have a greater mass than it actually does.
What is the formula for finding the volume of solid object?
length x width x height
What is the formula of an irregular solid?
LxWxH
What instrument measures the volume of an irregular solid?
graduated cylindergraduated cylinderSubmerge your solid in a liquid the liquid volume displaced is equal to your irregular solid volume.
What method of measurement is used to find the volume of an irregular solid?
The water displacement method is typically used to find the volume of an irregular solid. The object is submerged in a known amount of water, and the increase in water volume is measured. This increase in volume is equal to the volume of the irregular solid.
How can you measure the volume of an irregular solid?
It's simple, you just have to take a measurable recipient big enough to contain the solid, fill the recipient with a known volume of water and drop the irregular solid into the water. Then you can measure the increase of volume, which will be equivalent to the volume of your solid.
How do you measure the volume irregular solid?
You place it in water to see the volume of water it displaces. Fill a large, graduated measuring cylinder to about halfway with water (say to 50mL) Put the irregular solid in, and measure the volume it reads (solid + water). (say it reads 80mL) So the volume of the irregular solid will be: volume(solid+water) - volume(water). For example, the volume of the water was 50mL, and when the solid was added, the volume increased to 80mL. The volume of the solid would be 80mL - 50mL. So it would be 30mL.
How can we calculate the density of a irregular solid or a liquid?
You can dip the irregular solid in a water or other suitable liquid. This is how, you can measure the volume of the solid. The mass can be measured by weighing scale. Mass/volume = density. It is easy to measure the mass and volume of the liquid. First measure the mass the container. Then add the liquid to it. You will get the mass of the liquid. Then measure the volume of the liquid. Use the above formula to calculate the density of the liquid.
