Water Displacement experiment

The Water Displacement experiment demonstrates how an object’s volume can be measured by observing how much water it displaces. When you submerge an object in water, it pushes aside an amount of water equal to its own volume. By noting the increase in water level in a container, you can determine the object’s volume. This method is especially useful for irregularly shaped objects that are difficult to measure with rulers. It relies on the principle that the volume of displaced water accurately reflects the volume of the submerged object.
