Want this question answered?
Density = (mass) divided by (volume)regardless of the substance, or the shape of the sample.
I am not positive but i think that a regular shaped object can be measured and an irregular can not Hope this helps :D
Measure the volume of the object which is same as the volume of the displaced liquid in which that sinks. And measure the mass of the same object from a weighing machine. then use density = mass/volume
method usede to figure the volume of an irregular shaped object
it is an object that does not have an explanation for the sides
by measuring the object
The volume of the object.
The same units are used for regular or irregular objects - for example, kilogram per cubic meter.
A measuring cup or graduated cylinderWater or other liquid to place the solid in
First you get the object mass by weighing it.Then you get its volume by immersing it in a scaled water container and see the increase in water volume which gives the object volume.Then you divide the mass by the volume to get the object density.
Weigh the object. Determine the volume. Divide the mass by the volume to get the density. To get the volume of an irregular shaped object can be challenging especially if there are cavities (holes) in it. submersion in a liquid or powder of known volume might be possible. Measure the difference in the volume of the liquid and the liquid + the object (making sure the object is entirely below the surface of the liquid and that any cavities are filled).
density is mass per volume. First weigh (mass) the key, then to find it's volume, place it into a container with liquid and measure how much volume is displaced.
