Are you asking how one can measure the density of a solid object by using a liquid?
The answer to that is:
1) Fill a container with as much liquid as it can hold without overflowing, and make sure that any overflow will be caught. For example, pick something with a spout and put a bucked under the spout.
2) Put the solid object in the liquid, causing some to spill over into the bucket or whatever you're using.
3) Measure the volume of the liquid that overflowed.
4) Use a scale to measure the mass of the object.
5) Divide the mass by the volume to get density.
Note that if the object is a regular geometric figure like a cube or something, the volume can be calculated without the liquid method.

What units are usually used for measuring the density of solids of liquids?
The unit for density is kg m-3.
What is the conclusion of the density as it applies to liquid and solid?
that the density of an object determines on an objects size not mass. you can calculate density bye dividing the objects mass by it's volume.
Can gold float in a molten vat of lead?
No. Th density of lead is 11.36 g/cm3, the density of gold is 19.32 g/cm3. Objects only float in liquids with a density greater than their own.
What does a hydrometer measure?
Hydrometer measure the density of liquids.
Is true about density and states of matter for most substances?
The density of solid state of matter is higher than the density of liquids and the density of liquids is higher than the density of gases.
What causes objects to float?
in relation to solids or liquids in liquids: Density. A lighter density compound/liquid will float in a heavier density liquid
What units are usually used for measuring the density of solids of liquids?
The unit for density is kg m-3.
What happens if an objects density and a liquids density are equal?
Equilibrium. (It neither rises nor sinks.)
How does the relative density of objects determine whether objects float or sink in liquids?
If the density of the object is greater than that of the liquid then it will sink. If the density of the object is lower it will float. To calculate density; density=mass(g)/volume(cm3)

What liquids have a better buoyancy?
Liquids that have a greater density than water, will provide more buoyancy to objects floating in it. Salt water is more dense than fresh water, so objects will float higher in it.
What is the measuring cyllinder used for?
A measuring cylinder is used to measure the volume of liquids.
What is the conclusion of the density as it applies to liquid and solid?
that the density of an object determines on an objects size not mass. you can calculate density bye dividing the objects mass by it's volume.
How can liquids be separated density?
Liquids can be separated by the density difference by centrifugation.
What instrument is used for measuring liquids?
Measuring cylinder

What tool used for measuring precise volumes of liquids?
A graduated cylinder is used measuring precise volume of liquids.A graduated cylinder is used measuring precise volume of liquids.
