How is a measuring cylinder used to measure the volume of an irregularly shaped stone?

To measure the volume of an irregular stone, submerge it in a measuring cylinder filled with water. The stone displaces an amount of water equivalent to its volume. Measure the change in water level before and after immersion to determine the volume of the stone.
