An old instrument that works very well for solids and liquids is a pichnometer. It is a glass flask with a defined, exact volume and you determine the density by weighing the pichnometer full of water (known density at a specified temperature), the empty flask and the flask with a small amount of the solid or full of a liquid. Note: The liquid or solid should not dissolve in water. If the do, use a standard liquid of known density that will not dissolve the sample
A mass balance and a measuring jug full of a liquid.
It is difficult to apply Archimedes principle to gasses especially those lighter than air.
That the material's density is less than the density of water.

The density of material is expressed as volume divided by mass.
The density of a material is generally typical of a material. The density is it's mass divided by it's volume. So if you have something that weight 20kg and has a volume of 2500cm3 or 2.5L it's density will be 8gcm-3

Density can be used to identify a material by how much you get as an 'answer'. because if it is the same material then probably the density value will be similar. -By Anna 6-4

The density of a material depends on the mass and the volume of that material. In order to find the density of a material you must multiple the mass of the material and the volume of the material.
The principle of density was discovered by Archimedes. To calculate density, we use the equation Density = mass/volume.

A rectangle is just a geometric shape; it doesn't have a "density".A material shaped like a rectangle can have a density; in this case, the density will depend on what material you are using.
