Three precautions that must be taken while measuring the volume of an irregular solid lighter than water, using a measuring cylinder are:

1. The object must be gently pushed completely inside the water.

2. The water must not flow out of the measuring cylinder.

3. While checking the  water level the eye must be at the level of the marks of the graduated cylinder to remove parallax error.
