density

Question 1

how do you find the density of a regular object

Answer 1

1. use a ruler to measure the length, width and height of the object
2. place the object on top of a balance to find mass
3. multiply length,width,height to get volume of object
4. calculate the density using p=m/v using the mass and volume

Question 2

how to find density of irregular object

Answer 2

1. fill eureka can with room temp water to its spout and align measuring beaker with the spout. make sure level of water lies below level of spout.
2. place object into eureka can
3. collect displaced water from beaker and measure volume of water displaced
   4.measure mass of object using mass balance
4. calculate density of object using p=m/v
