Sounds ok to me. One question is whether there might be any airspaces the water cannot reach, but then it is not clear whether you would want count this as part of the porous material's volume or not.Nishaaa said:
There are at least a couple other ways I can think of to do it. Is this question for your schoolwork? What other ways can you think of doing it?Nishaaa said:

But it would be heavier enough so that volume can be measured by displacement method. There can be a chance that it dies not absorb water in first place. Any other method that you can suggest.haruspex said:

To measure the volume of an irregular and porous material sponge, you will need to use the water displacement method. First, fill a graduated cylinder or beaker with a known amount of water. Then, carefully place the sponge into the water and record the new water level. The difference between the two water levels is the volume of the sponge.
No, using a ruler will not accurately measure the volume of an irregular and porous material sponge. This method only works for regular, solid objects. The water displacement method is the most accurate way to measure the volume of a sponge.
Yes, the size of a sponge does affect its volume. The larger the sponge, the larger the volume will be. This is because volume is a measure of the amount of space an object takes up, so a larger sponge will take up more space than a smaller one.
If your sponge has holes, gaps, or other irregularities, you can still use the water displacement method to calculate its volume. However, you may need to submerge the sponge multiple times to get an accurate measurement. Alternatively, you can also use a formula such as V = l x w x h to calculate the volume of a regular-shaped sponge and subtract the volume of the holes or gaps from the total.
Yes, volume is typically measured in cubic units such as cubic centimeters (cm^3) or cubic inches (in^3). However, for larger objects, other units such as liters (L) or gallons (gal) may be used. It is important to make sure that all measurements are in the same units before calculating the volume.
