What tools are used to measure the density of a regularly shaped solid?

For a simple regular shape, then calculating its volume, and measuring its weight would be the appropriate approach.
For this you'll need a ruler, and a weight balance. Its density is given by weight per unit volume. e.g. 1.35 grams per ml.

To measure the density of a regularly shaped solid, common tools used include a balance or scale to measure the mass, and a ruler or caliper to measure the dimensions (length, width, and height) of the solid. With this information, the density can be calculated by dividing the mass by the volume of the solid, which can be determined by multiplying the three dimensions together.

The can that use to measure the volume of solid?
well, for an irregularly shaped object it is a eureka can or a graduated cylinder, but for a regularly shaped object it is a simple formula: Length*Width*Height. I am 10 years old and learned that in science class.
What tool do you use to find density?
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.
Is a solid have a high or low volume?
Density is dependent on mass and volume. Density is not a fixed constant for all substances either. The measure of density is by substance based on the above factors.
How do you measure the volume of a regular shaped solid?
You measure the height and the length and add them together. Multiply the result by the square root of the width. That number, in cubic units, is the volume.
Metric unit used to measure the density of a solid?
It is usually:kg per cubed-meterorkg per cubed-centimeterorg per cubed-centimeter(depending on which is most appropriate for what you are talking about)
What to scientists use to measure the mass of an irregularly shaped solid?
A balance is used to measure the mass of an irregularly shaped solid.
Can you use a balance to measure the volume irregularly shaped solid?
yes you can use a balance to measure the volume of an irregular shaped solid.

What measures solid density?
Density = Mass / Volume. There is not an instrument that will measure both so you will need to measure them separately and calculate the density.
What measurement tool do you use to measure volume?
For mass, you would use a triple-beam balance. For volume, you would either use a graduated cylinder (for liquids), calculate the displacement with a graduated cylinder (for an odd-shaped solid), or calculate it using the equation for volume (for a regularly-shaped solid).
How do you measure the mass of a solid with a graduated cylinder without the density?
You cannot measure the mass of a solid with a graduated cylinder.

How do you find the density of a regular solid cube?
You measure its mass and volume and then density = mass/volume.

How do you measure a solid object?
What do you want to measure - mass, weight, volume, density. There's no answer for "measure" without indicating what is to be measured.
