Measuring Mass and Volume: Measuring Volume of Solids

The video tutorial explains how to measure the volume of both regularly and irregularly shaped objects. For regular objects, a metric ruler is used to measure dimensions and calculate volume. For irregular objects, the water displacement method is employed. This involves submerging the object in a graduated cylinder filled with water and measuring the change in water level to determine the object's volume. The tutorial provides a step-by-step guide to using this method, concluding with an example calculation of a rock's volume.
