You're pretty much up a creek. You can find the volume using only a ruler, but without a way to find the mass, you will not be able to determine the density.

How do find density if only mass is given of a rectangular solid?
If this rectangular solid is actually in your possession, then you would measure it and calculate the volume, after which you can derive the density by dividing the mass by the volume. If it is not in your possession, then you are clearly being asked to call upon your psychic powers to solve this problem.
What is used to measure density?
A very common instrument for the direct measurement of the density of a liquid is the hydrometer, which measures the volume displaced by an object of known mass. A common laboratory device for measuring fluid density is apycnometer; a related device for measuring the absolute density of a solid is a gas pycnometer. Another instrument used to determine the density of a liquidor a gas is the digital density meter - based on the oscillating U-tube principle.
How does the density of a liquid compare with the density of a solid?
That depends on the liquid and the solid. Liquid mercury has a very high density. Liquid gasoline has a very low density. At the melting point the density of a liquid and a solid are almost the same.
How you would use a triple beam balance and a ruler to find the density of the solid a wooden block?
Density (kg/m3) = mass (kg)/Volume (m3) So to find the density of the wooden block, the triple beam balanced is used to calculate the mass and the metre rule is used to measure the height, length and width of the wooden block. Then the volume is calculated by multiplying the thee distances obtained from the ruler. Finally the density is calculated using the equation: Density (kg/m3) = mass (kg)/Volume (m3)
What is the formula for the density of a solid object?
Density= mass/volume
How can you use a balance scale and a metric ruler to find density of a rectangular solid?
How can you?? If u dont know the width or the volume
What instrument measures the volume of a rectangular solid?
If you have a ruler then you could measure the length width and height and then multiply them together. (LWH is the formula)
How do you calculate density of a rectangular solid?
Density is weight divided by volume. In the case of a rectangular solid, volume is length times width times height.
How can you use a balance scale and a metric ruler to find the density of a rectangular solid?
Measure the solid to determine its length, width, and height. Multiply all three to get its volume. Weigh the solid to determine its weight. Divide weight by volume to get density. Convert as needed to the appropriate units.
What tool do you use to measure the volume of a rectangular solid?
A ruler or tape measure.
How do you calculate weight of a rectangular solid rubber?
You multiply its density by its volume.
Which tools would you need to have to find the density of a solid rectangular block of wood?
on a balance
What volume is found by measuring length width and height with a ruler?
Volume of a rectangular solid. V = lwh
How do you find the length of a rectangular solid?
Use a ruler, measuring tape or other device for measuring length.
What measures solid density?
Density = Mass / Volume. There is not an instrument that will measure both so you will need to measure them separately and calculate the density.
What tool is used to find volume of a rectangular solid?
A ruler to find the measures of the edges and a brain to multiply them together.
