It depends upon the shape of the wooden block. For example, assume that the block has a simple cuboid shape. To find the volume, multiply the length by width and by the height. This can be done using a ruler or a metre stick; it depends upon the dimensions and size of the object. After all, you wouldn't use a ruler to measure a block with a height in metres, would you?

Well it is due to the fact that when you submerge the wooden block into the the cylinder. The displacement of water from the initial-measurement (before the block was submerge) to finial-measurement will be the volume of wooden block.

Note: In cases of floating objects. You can always add a sinker to it to submerge the object. But you will need to take into account the volume of the sinker and minus off the added volume of sinker.

3 cm x 3 cm x 3 cm = 27 cm3 = 27 ml. That's IF it sinks. But unless it's a block of ebony, teak, or

mahogany, a block of wood probably floats in water. We would have to know its density in order

to calculate its displacement.

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 tools do you use to find the density of a block?

You need a scale to measure the weight and ways to submerge the block and measure the water to determine the volume.


What tools could you use to measure the mass and volume of a block of ice?

a balance scale


Can objects of the same size have different amounts of matter?

Yes. Consider that a block of iron has considerably more mass than a wooden block of the same size. The amount of matter contained in a given volume of a substance is called density.


What has maximum inertia if all have the same volume wooden block or glass block or iron block or aluminum block?

Inertia is directly proportional to mass.If all of the blocks have the same volume, they will have different masses because those materials have different densities. Mass = density x volume.The object with the highest density will have the highest mass and therefore the highest inertia.Densities:glass ~ 2500kg/m3 (but can range from 2000 to 8000kg/m3)aluminum 2700kg/m3iron 7850kg/m3wood ~ 550kg/m3 (but can range from 150 to 1350kg/m3)

How do you measure the volume and mass of a block of ice?

you can measure the mass by putting it on a balance and measure really quickly. the volume you can estimate an approximate answer by putting it in water and measuring its displacement.


What will happen to the mass volume and density if you chop the wooden block in half?

The volume will be reduced to a half of its original value. If the mass is (approximately) evenly distributed throughout the wooden block then the mass will also reduce to a half of its original value and the density will not change.
