Solution
For measurement of an irregular solid by the displacement method using a measuring cylinder.
a. Fill the graduated cylinder with the water.
b. Record the lower meniscus of water and let the value be V1
c. Tie the solid whose volume is to be measured to a strong string and lower it into the water gently.
d. When the object is completely immersed in water, the level of water rises.
e. Note the reading carefully and let the value be V2
f. The volume of the solid, V = V2 - V1
