Water Displacement

Water displacement is a method used to determine the volume of an object by observing how much water it pushes aside when submerged. When an object is placed in a container of water, it causes the water level to rise. The amount of water displaced is equal to the volume of the object. This principle is based on Archimedes’ principle, which states that an object submerged in fluid experiences an upward force equal to the weight of the fluid it displaces. This technique is often used in science and engineering to measure volume, especially for irregularly shaped objects.
