I'm not sure if I remember correctly, but I think that you would need to measure the object with the metric ruler, and then weigh it with a triple beam balance.

You would fill a beaker with water and find the volume of the water. Then add the object to the water, and find the new measurement. Subtract the water volume from the total to get the object's final volume. If you dont mind getting the item wet :).

Actually, it would be a graduated cyliner, not a beaker. Sorry!

I think you would use a graduated cylinder with a certain amount of water in it, measure it, then put the item in, measure, and find the difference.

Fill a graduated cylinder with water and measure. Then place the object in the water and measure again. Subtract that amount from the original amount and that is the volume of the object.

In order to measure the volume of a solid object is to use a metric ruler. Even though we aren't measuring the length it could also tell us the volume.

if you wanted ot determine the volume of a solid object i think you would use a metric ruler and then weigh it on a triple beam balance.

I think what you need to do is to measure the object with a metric ruler,then after that measure it with a beam balance.
