Question

1. what do you call the procedure that helps you determine the volume of an irregularly shaped object, while using a graduated cylinder? how do you perform the procedure?

Explanation:

The procedure is called water - displacement method. First, pour a known volume of water ($V_1$) into the graduated cylinder. Then, carefully place the irregularly - shaped object into the cylinder, ensuring it is fully submerged. The water level will rise. Read the new volume of water and the object together ($V_2$). The volume of the irregularly - shaped object is $V = V_2 - V_1$.

Answer:

The procedure is called the water - displacement method. To perform it, first measure the initial volume of water in the graduated cylinder. Then submerge the irregular object and measure the new volume. The volume of the object is the difference between the two volumes.
