This depends upon the phase of the material whose density you wish to find. Fir an irregularly shaped solid, you would have to find the volume using a graduated cylinder (to measure how much liquid it displaces) and then weigh it on a scale (probably a triple beam balance). A regularly shaped solid would not require a graduated cylinder, you could just get its measurements with a ruler. A liquid could be measured using a graduated cylinder and a scale. A gas could have its density relative to that of the air measured by observing its buoyancy vs. weight measured in a balloon. That is a bit more complicated.

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.
What type of tool would you use to find the volume of a liquid?
Measure the container itself, or measure the mass of the liquid and the container and find the density of that certain liquid has and isolate for the volume.
How do you use the word density in a sentence?
You can find a rock's density in many different ways. That object has a high density and will not float on water.
How do you determine relative density of butter?
When you find the relative density of butter, use the formula for density = mass/volume. First find the mass, or weight of the butter, and then divide the butter by its volume.
How do you get a density of a block?
You will need the mass and volume of the block. To find mass, use an electronic balance. To find volume, use length x breadth x height. For irregular solid, use the water displacement method. The density is mass divided by volume.

What tool is density?
Density is a physical property of matter: it is not a tool.

Oil is less dense than water what tool i should use and hoe density relates to how it works?
What tool you should use depends on what you want to achieve.
What formula do use to find density?
Mass = Density -------- volume
Which tool is use to find the width?
the tool used to find the width of a pencil is a ruler. But use the centimeter side of it for the width only!!
Tool for density?
Hydrometer
What do you use to find an object's density?
divison
How do you find the volume of mercury if only the density is known?
Use a mass balance to find the mass then find the volume by V=mass/density.
What technique is used to find Density of liquids?
Find the mass of a known volume of the liquid and use the formula mass/volume to find the density.
What equation do you use to find an objects density?
divison
