The volume of a solid object is the three- Dimension al concept of how much space it occupies, often quantified numerically. One-dimensional figures (such as Lines ) and two-dimensional shapes (such as Square s) are assigned zero volume in the three-dimensional space. Volumes of straight-edged and circular shapes are calculated using arithmetic formulas. Volumes of other curved shapes are calculated using Integral Calculus , by approximating the given body with a large amount of small Cubes or concentric Cylindrical shells, and adding the individual volumes of those shapes. The volume of irregularly shaped objects can be determined by Displacement . If an irregularly shaped object floats on water, you will need a heavier object like a rock or metal and attach it on you floating object. This should cause the object to sink. Then, get the volume of the object. Subtract the volume of the attached heavy object and the original findings. The generalization of volume to arbitrarily many dimensions is called Content . In Differential Geometry , volume is expressed by means of the Volume Form . Volume and Capacity are sometimes distinguished, with capacity being used for how much a container can hold (with contents measured commonly in Litre s or its derived units), and volume being how much space an object displaces (commonly measured in Cubic Metre s or its derived units). Volume and capacity are also distinguished in a capacity management setting, where capacity is defined as volume over a specified time period. Volume is a fundamental parameter in Thermodynamics and it is Conjugate to Pressure . VOLUME FORMULAE (The units of volume depend on the units of length - if the lengths are in metres, th'''Bold textBold texte volume will be in cubic '''metres''', etc) The volume of a Parallelepiped is the absolute value of the Scalar Triple Product of the subtending vectors, or equivalently the absolute value of the Determinant of the corresponding matrix. |
