📊 Displacement Method Visualised

Eureka can (overflow can) filled with glowing blue water. A rock on a string is lowered into the water, causing water to overflow through the spout into a measuring cylinder below. The displaced water volume equals the rock's volume.

Figure 1: Eureka can method — the volume of water displaced into the measuring cylinder equals the volume of the irregular solid.
