To measure the density of the empty school bag including the air in the bag, you

should be able to simply weigh it, and measure its dimensions, and calculate the

density, which is weight divided by volume. Bags have a more or less rectangular

shape, so the volume is simply length times width times height. If you want to

measure the density of the material from which the bad is made, that is a little more

complicated, and might require you to squeeze the bag into some kind of compact,

easily measured shape, that does not contain air.

What gas put in a balloon would make it fall?

Any gas that is more dense than air.Answer:It is a bit more complex than that - an air filled balloon would still fall because air has the density of air. In a normal inflated balloon the air in the balloon is compressed and has a density more than uncompressed air. If the "balloon" were a plastic bag wiith no air pressure above the pressure of the surrounding air, the balloon would still fall as the combined (average) density of the balloon/bag system is greater than the surrounding air. Even if the balloon were filled with a gas with a lower specific gravity than air the balloon wll fall if the compressed gas density excedes that of the surrounding air or if the combined (average) density of the balloon/bag or balloon system is greater than the surrounding air.

Why it is important to measure the density of cement?

to identify package size,weight=volume*density. if you know density you will know the volume of the bag.
