You will need the mass and volume of the block. To find mass, use an electronic balance. To find volume, use length x breadth x height. For irregular solid, use the water displacement method. The density is mass divided by volume.
Get a sample of the metal. Use a scale to find its mass. If it is shape is that of a rectangular solid (box) measure length, width, and height and multiply to find volume. If it is irregularly shaped, use the water displacement method to find its volume. Divide the mass by the volume to get the density.
The density of water is 1. Density is calculated by dividing mass by volume. For things that have density more than 1, they will sink in water. For things with density less than 1, they will float in water.
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.
You can find a rock's density in many different ways. That object has a high density and will not float on water.
Any solid that is less dense than water will float in water. This information could be found in a density table. The density of water is 1 g / ml. One example of a solid that floats in water is ice, with a density of 0.92 g / ml.
mass/volume=density

You measure its mass and volume and then density = mass/volume.
the density for water is always 1.0 gm/cm3
Determine the mass of the given body using a physical balance. Let it be 'M'. Take some water in a measuring jar( water in the jar should be sufficient to immerse the solid). Note the initial level of water, let it be 'A'. Suspend the solid inside the jar using a thread so that the solid is fully immersed in the water, without touching the sides or bottom of the measuring jar. Note the water level. Let it be 'B'. Then volume of the solid = A - B. Then density of the solid = M/V.
I believe you can use it to tell if gold is solid, or anything you would wan't to know the density of, for that matter
It is useful because no matter how much you have of the same substance, it will always have the same density. The mathematical equation to find the density of matter is to divide the mass by the volume. So you get an average, the density. Water has a density of 1. However, oil has a density of something like .9, so it floats on water. That way, by just looking at the numbers, you can tell what is what.

it is important to calculate the density of a substance because this way you are able to find the volume of a substance like which liquid is a heavier flow or thicker molecules in it

I do know about the density of water. The density of water is 1.0 grams/ millimeter. To find the density of an object, divide its mass by volume. If you have any further questions, ask me.
