About Volume & Displacement

Volume measures the space inside an object. We use cubic units. It shows how much liquid fits in a container. Each shape needs its own formula. A cube multiplies its side length three times. A block multiplies length by width by height.

Displacement applies to fluids. An object moves into fluid and pushes it aside. Buoyant force equals the weight of that pushed fluid. Ship builders use this rule. They also use it to find the size of odd shapes.

A short video shows these ideas with simple diagrams. The clip shows shapes filling space. The clip shows fluids moving around objects. Seeing examples helps grasp formulas. You get clear steps and live demos.
