Using the eureka can
The can is first filled with water until it overflows through the spout. After the flow has stopped, carefully immerse
the object and collect the water which flows out through the spout using a measuring cylinder. Wait until the last
drop comes out and then read off the volume of the water collected. This is equal to the volume of the solid
immersed since it has been displaced by the solid.
