Archimedes Principle.
When you submerge an object in a liquid there are two main forces to look at. The gravity force downward, and the buoyancy force upward.
If you measure the apparent weight (force downward) of a submerged object, you can use this to determine its volume, as the buoyant force is equal to the weight of the displaced liquid.
