Volume (v) and mass (m) are need to calculate density in the equation d=(m/v). The units depend on which units you use for the measurements of volume and mass.
You need a tripple beam balance
Any instruments that can measure mass and length. (not at the same time, doesnt have to be the same instrument). By measuring the length, height and width of an object you can determine it's volume and by weighing it you can determine it's mass. From these results it's possible to calculate the objects density.
a balance and a graduated cylinder
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.
density = mass / volume. so you need to weigh to find the mass. To find the volume submerse in water and record the displacement of water to find the volume.
You need its mass and volume.
density = mass / volume. so you need to weigh to find the mass. To find the volume submerse in water and record the displacement of water to find the volume.
You need to know the density of the substance.
We need standard measurements because it helps us to find the measurements of things.
You need the mass (m) and volume (v) of the object. The density (d) is then given by:d = m / v
You aslo need to know the density of the matter being calculated. multiply the density by the volume to get the weight
The measurements that you need to find the area of a square is Area = Length x Width.
density = mass / volume. so you need to weigh to find the mass. To find the volume submerse in water and record the displacement of water to find the volume.
Strictly speaking if the density is given then you don't need to find it.
In theory yes. If you have the measurements you can work out the volume. Then with the volume you can multiply it by the density to give you weight. But you'll also need to know the density of the matterial so if a measurement is all you got then no.
You need to know two of them - either from your own or other people's measurements. The third can then be determined using Density = Mass/Volume
