(Mass) divided by (Volume) is defined as the density of the sample or object.
We will assume there is no difficulty in weighing the object, so the problem becomes how to measure the volume of the object accurately enough to calculate the density within a reasonable degree of certainty. There are several possible ways.Immerse the object in a non-reactive liquid (oil, perhaps) and measure the amount of liquid displaced.Apply a thin coat of insulating material (paint, or wax) all over the object, and then immerse the coated object in water and measure the amount of water displaced.Cut the object into a group of regular geometric shapes (boxes, spheres, prisms, cones, pyramids, etc.), and measure the dimensions of each geometric shape, and calculate the aggregate volume (destructive, and less accurate)Drill a cylindrical core sample of the object, weigh the sample, and precisely measure the dimensions of the cylindrical sample to calculate volume (destructive, and assumes the density of the object is uniform)Make a clay, wax, or other mold of the object, and measure the volume of the mold.Place the object in an three dimensional laser scanner and compute the volume using the software in the scanner computer.
Density has dimensions - for instance grammes per cubic centimetre. Relative density is dimensionless - it is a density compared to another density - it is a dimensionless ratio. Normally the ratio is based on water, which has a density of 1g/cm3, so density and relative density are usually the same number - one with units, one without.
I measured a density of 1.0663 g with a sample size of 50.
The density is the ratio between the mass and the volume of a sample.
The density of an object or a sample of a substance is (the object's mass) divided by (its volume).
Its density. Density is mass per unit volume.
Density is equal to the mass of the substance divided by its volume: D (density) = M (mass) / V (volume), so the density equals 94/12= 7.833...
(Mass) divided by (Volume) is defined as the density of the sample or object.
Density = (mass) divided by (volume)regardless of the substance, or the shape of the sample.
If a object has buoyancy it floats. A object also needs to have a density less dense than the object you want it to float on. Example: if you want a inner tube to float and jewelry to sink you make them out of different materials.

The volume of graphite is dependent on its mass and density. You can calculate it only if you know the sample's mass and density. The same goes for any other substance or object.
Density of a substance = (mass of a sample of it)/(volume of the same sample)
Find the volume of the sample (Length times width times height) and multipy by the density coefficient.
No.A droplet of water and an olympic swimming pool full of water have the same density.Water is water. Density is a property of the substance, not a property of any sample with any certain size or shape.
