Take a cup of water. If you add a hard rubber ball that sinks to the cup, the water level in the cup goes up. The amount if goes up, or the volume, is the amount of water displaced by the ball. This is displaced volume.

Take a look at your values for the volume of the cube and the volume of displaced water. Although the values may be close, are they exactly the same? ...

Or does that hold true for just one particular problem im working on :)? (this formula is for objects that sink, not float.. if they float volume displaced = volume of item)

Density is mass divided by displaced volume. Mass is usually determined by weighing an object. One way to determine displaced volume is to let water get into all possible places within the object -- i.e., hold it underwater until it is filled with water.

Given known process conditions, plunger stroke length and diameter, number of plungers, and strokes per minute, you can determine the displaced volume per minute and the required pump horsepower.

To examine the effect of hyperinflation on the volume displaced by diaphragm motion ( Vdi), we compared nine subjects with emphysema and severe hyperinflation [residual volume (RV)/total lung capacity (TLC) 0.65 ± 0.08;

To develop an accurate method to measure the volume displaced by diaphragm motion ( Vdi) breath by breath, we compared Vdi measured by a previously evaluated biplanar radiographic method (Singh B, Eastwood PR, and Finucane KE.
