To calculate the density of any object all you need to do is measure the mass and volume. Density = mass/volumeThe density of ice is less than water(which is why only the top of lakes freeze in the winter).
For those that want to find the density while it is floating in water look below:
Imagine a cube of ice floating in water. In order for it to float the force of gravity on the ice must equal the force of buoyancy on the ice. The force of buoyancy as described by Archimedes is equal to the mass of water displaced by the ice. Lets say the ice is x cm below the level of the water. then:
force buoyancy = (density of water)*volume*gforce buoyancy = (density of water)*(area of ice cube)*x*g where g is the acceleration due to gravity
equating this to the force of gravity gives:
(density of water)*x = (density ice)*(total height of cube)
hope that helps.

What is more dense water vapor liquid water or ice?
Ice water is more dense than warm water.
Which is most dense Ice Butter or Oak?
The densities are Ice (at 0 °C): 916,7 kg/m³ Butter: 911 kg/m³ Oak: 750 kg/m³ So even though ice is less dense than water, it is still more dense than butter or oak. The density of ice increases slightly when the temperature drops.
Why ice cream melts faster than ice?
Ice cream is less dense than ice
What is more dense ice or snow?
Ice is denser than snow
Does ice float on water because of cohesion?
Ice floats on water because it is less dense than liquid water. When water freezes and forms ice, the water molecules arrange themselves in a crystalline structure that causes the ice to be less dense. This is why ice floats on water rather than sinking.
What last longer dense ice or non dense ice?
Dense ice
Is ice as dense as water?
Ice is less dense than water, that's why it floats.
Is impure ice less dense than pure ice?
yes it is less dense than pure ice and this is a fact
Is ice less dense or more dense than water?
no
Which is most dense ice or water?
Water is more dense.
Is liquid water less dense then Ice?
No. Ice is less dense than water. Because ice is less dense it displaces less water and floats. Water is most dense at 4o C. any change in temperature, either up or down, lowers the density.
Is solid ice more dense than water?
No. It is less dense.
What is more dense water vapor liquid water or ice?
Ice water is more dense than warm water.
Is a ice cube more or less dense than liquid water?
Ice cubes are less dense than liquid water, which is why they float.
Is ice less dense than warm water?
Yes, ice is less dense than liquid water, regardless of its temperature. Dry ice will sink.
Which is most dense Ice Butter or Oak?
The densities are Ice (at 0 °C): 916,7 kg/m³ Butter: 911 kg/m³ Oak: 750 kg/m³ So even though ice is less dense than water, it is still more dense than butter or oak. The density of ice increases slightly when the temperature drops.
Why ice cream melts faster than ice?
Ice cream is less dense than ice
