Submerse the object in a completely full bucket. measure the volume of the displaced water due to the object. Multiply the volume of the displaced water by the density of the object to give mass.
The amount of buoyant force is equal to the weight of the displaced water. The VOLUME of the displaced water is equal to the part of the solid that is submerged - thus, the buoyant force is equal to this volume, times the density of the water.
An object will float in water if it has less density than the water. You can calculate the density of the object by dividing its mass by its volume. For comparison, the density of water is: * 1 gram / cubic centimeter * 1 kilogram / liter * 1000 kilograms / cubic meter
Buoyant force is equal to the weight of the volume of water displaced. Buoyant force = [density of water] x [volume of water displaced] x [gravity]
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
This is the specific gravity of the mineral. It's a comparison of how much mass a given volume of it has compared to the mass of an equal volume of water.
Buoyant force = Density of the water * g * Volume of displaced water For the ship to float, the buoyant force must be equal to the weight of the ship. Density of the water * g * Volume of displaced water = m * g Density of the water * Volume of displaced water = m When you multiply the density of water by the volume of displaced water, you get the mass of the ship.

Specific gravity and density will have the same value when the two substances under investigation have identical densities. Density is an expression of the amount of mass per unit of volume that a substance exhibits. Specific gravity is a comparison of the density of a substance to the density of water.
Relative density, or specific gravity, is the ratio of the density (mass of a unit volume) of a substance to the density of a given reference material. Specific gravity usually means relative density with respect to water.
the units of density are mass/volume so anything that gives you those variables. A scale and graduated cylinder be used if you fill the cylinder with water and the monitor the displacement of the water. 1ml of water is equal to 1 cubic cm (thats volume)
Buoyant force is equal to the weight of the volume of water displaced. Buoyant force = [density of water] x [volume of water displaced] x [gravity]
Density = mass / volume. So if the volume changes, the density will obviously also change.
Measure out a specific volume of water, such as 100mL. Determine the mass of that volume of water. Density = mass/volume, so divide the mass by the volume, and you will have the density.
