In order to determine the density of ice, one must know if the shape is a geometrical figure as the volume is needed to find the density of an object. However if the block of ice isn't any definable shape, then, by measuring a certain amount of water in a beaker and placing ice into it, you are able to find its volume by subtracting the original amount of water by the ice altered volume of the water. Another way to find the volume of ice is to force a phase change causing it to become water. Once it is water, it is then you are able to find its volume by placing it in a beaker. However during the process of melting, the ice looses density by an unsubstantial amount, enabling the results to be accurate. After the volume is found, the mass must be identified in order to find the density of any object as D=M/V. This can be found simply by weighing it on a sensitive scale. Finally after all of the variables are obtained, plug them into the equation: Density=Mass/Volume.
