To find volume using the displacement method, follow these steps:
1. Select a container or beaker that can hold the object you want to find the volume of. Ensure that the container has markings to measure the volume.
2. Fill the container with a known amount of liquid, such as water or any other suitable liquid. Make sure to record the initial volume of the liquid in the container.
3. Carefully place the object whose volume you want to measure into the container, ensuring it is fully submerged in the liquid.
4. As the object is placed in the container, it will displace some of the liquid. The displaced liquid will overflow or rise in the container.
5. Carefully remove the object from the container, being cautious not to spill any liquid.
6. Measure the final volume of the liquid in the container, taking into account the rise in the liquid level due to the displacement caused by the object.
7. The difference between the final volume of the liquid and the initial volume (before placing the object) is equal to the volume of the object.
By subtracting the initial volume of the liquid from the final volume, you are essentially measuring the increase in volume caused by the object when it was submerged. This increase in volume represents the volume of the object itself.
Make sure to use a container with precise volume markings and be careful while handling the liquid and object to get accurate measurements and reliable results.
