Displacement

Displacement

Displacement is a method used to calculate the volume or an irregular object

Steps:

1. Fill the graduated cylinder with enough water to cover the object
2. Note the starting volume using the correct number of sig-figs
3. Slowly drop in the sample- without splashing the water
4. Record the new volume
5. Subtract the initial volume from the final volume to determine the volume of the sample, using the correct number of sig-figs
