How to measure the volume of a cork?

How to measure the volume of a cork?


One way to measure the volume of a cork is:


1) Attach weights to the cork (so it doesn't float)
2) Place it in a measuring cylinder of water
3) Measure the change in height of the water level
4) Put the weights in another measuring cylinder
5) Measure the change in height of the water level
6) Subtract the height of the water level with the weights from the height of the water level of the cork and weights
