Question

What properties must a solid have for the water displacement method to be useful?

Answer 1

Water displacement is the least difficult approach to decide the volume of an unpredictably formed or complex object. Rather than making various estimations and computations that might be inclined to error, it is just important to submerge the object in fluid and note the volume displaced. Ordinarily, this would be finished utilizing an aligned holder so the volume when inundation can be noted.  

At the point when used to calculate the volume of a solid object, the drenching must be aggregate, and care taken to guarantee that no air is caught in any holes. Nonetheless, displacement can likewise be utilized to ascertain the heaviness of a vessel, in which instance obviously, the inundation isn't add up to; the vessel is permitted to drift and, as Archimedes broadly found, its weight will then be equivalent to that of the volume of water displacement.
