You are asked to find the volume of an old antique vase. The vase is fragile and you cannot move it what so ever. Using what is in a doctors office how do you do it?
Slowly fill the vase with water via syringe, keep track of how many cc of water go in. /thread

Science doctor or Doctor doctor?

Physician
Take a large plastic container, and slice off the top and bottom turning it into a large tube, place it over the vase, and create a seal around the volume with putty.
Then fill the vase and the container with clean water from the doctor's sink until the exact point the vase is covered. Calculate the volume via width*depth*height of the vase and the water.
Then use a suction machine (used for cleaning out blood and the like) to drain both the container and the vase, and calculate the volume of the resulting water. Subtract this from the previous number and you have the volume of the vase.

Am i right in thinking that by fragile you mean it cannot be filled with water?
Otherwise

That only tells you how much liquid it can hold. I'm sure he wants the actual volume of its material. As in how many cubic centimeters it would fill if turned into dust.

In that case
Anon here is right:

But if you'll allow me to clean up his method a little: Take a container of known volume, place it around the vase (with putty because it cant move) fill the container with water as well as the vase using a beaker with cm^3 gradations on it, calculate how much water is displaced by vase i.e. Archimedes method. By calculating the width*depth*height and subtracting the total volume you added from the beaker.
That will give you the actual volume of the vase itself.
I think im correct, but its been a while since i was in a lab.

I thought this was gonna be a riddle thread, how come there's only a physics/math problem?
>>48290937
use a stethoscope
find its "volume"
>>48291378
It is a math problem, but at the same time you have a very severe restriction and have to think about how to utilize the aforementioned archimedes method without moving the vase.
>>48291335
Yeah your method is more efficient than mine, I yield the cookies to you.
>>48291426
You cheeky cunt this is probably the right answer.
Where the fuck is Batman?
>>48290937
Use a stethoscope, it's volume is very quiet, or throw it at something, it's volume is rather loud
>>48291426
Lmao
I smash the vase and determine the volume is NOTHING. Fuck you, Riddler. You can't make me do math.
