Displacement

Displacement

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

Steps:

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