There are a number of tools that are needed to find the density of a rock. You will mainly need a scale to measure the weight and the volume of the rock. Divide the mass of the rock by the volume to find the density.

∙ 14y agoA way to find the density of a rock is to first of all find its volume, then weigh it for its mass. Once you have these two, it is a simple matter of dividing the mass of the rock by its volume.
To find the volume, you can take a water container that has measurements on its side, and put some water into it, enough to cover the rock if you were to place the rock within it. Hopefully you will be able to find a water container large enough. Anyways, you can measure the volume of water, then place the rock inside and measure the volume again. Subtract the volume of water without the rock in it, and you then have the volume of the rock. You should have an answer in liters or milliliters.
Then, simply weigh the rock in grams or kilograms, and then the rest is already explained in the first paragraph.

What is the tool used to find the density of a liquid?
Hydrometer is used in batteries to measure density. A float tells you the density using displacement.

Which measuring tool would be used to determine the diameter of a crankshaft journal?
Dial caliper
What tool would you use to find the density of a glass of milk?
Well, to determine the density of anything, you'd simply have to measure the volume and the mass. Then, you would divide VOLUME / MASS or, if the mass is smaller, MASS / VOLUME. And there is your density.That formula(rule) goes for anything you need to know the density of, not just a simple glass of milk.I hope that helped and you can ask more about how to measure the volume and mass, too.(Mass: Weigh it in GRAMS.)(Volume: Length X Width X Heighth)
