It is not used for this.
A hydrometer is an instrument used to measure the specific gravity (or relative density) of liquids, NOT rock.
To measure the density of a rock you weigh a piece of it in air, then measure the volume of water it displaces in a measuring jug.
Density = mass/volume.

What device used to measure the strength of brine solution?
Salinometer
How is a barometer different than a hydrometer?
Barometer is used to measure atmospheric pressure. Hydrometer is used to measure specific gravity.
How can i use the word hydrometer in a sentence?
Mrs.Tuft used a hydrometer to determine the specific gravity of a liquid
What is an alcoholometer?
An alcoholometer is a hydrometer used to measure the amount of alcohol in a liquid, such as beer.
How can finding the density of a material be useful in identifying the material?
Finding the volume and comparing it to the mass will give you the density, then it is simply a matter of looking up which materials have that density to find what it is. And that is how you can tell how the density can be used
Why is the hydrometer used to find density?
A hydrometer can be used to find the specific gravity (relative density) of a liquid by determining how much water it will displace. Various calibrations are used for different kinds of liquids.
What caused the development of hydrometer?
A hydrometer is used to find the specific gravity (or relative density) of liquids.
What does a hydrometer measure?
Hydrometer measure the density of liquids.
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 is the measuring tool for density?
A hydrometer is a special device used to determine the density of a liquid.
What is measuring tool for density?
A hydrometer is a special device used to determine the density of a liquid.
What does the hydrometer measures?
a Hydrometer is used to measure the density of a solution, by the use of a scaled float. typically it is used for battery acid.
What is a hydrogrometer?
An instrument for measuring the Density of a liquid. The density of the Acid in a car Battery, changes as the stored electrici charge in the battery, is used to power things. A Hydrometer is commonly used to measure the Acid Density in Lead/Acid car batteries. The result of the Hydrometer reading let's you know how much electric charge is left in the battery. It is most commonly used to find out whether or not, the battery is old and depleted, or still in good condition. Go to Wikipedia to find out what a Hydrometer looks like.
Can we use a hydrometer to measure the density of milk?
Yes, we can use hydrometer to measure the density of milk. Explanation Hydrometer is a device which is used to measure the density of a liquid. Hydrometers are calibrated for different uses, such as a lactometer for measuring the density (creaminess) of milk, a saccharometer for measuring the density of sugar in a liquid, or an alcoholometer for measuring higher levels of alcohol in spirits
What range of hydrometer density reading of diesel can be used for engine?
you can use range between 0.7500 to 0.8500
What instrument is used to measure density how i measure density of acid in battery?
It is called a hydrometer.Also, density equals mass divided by volume.See the Related Questions to the left for more information about hydrometer and density.yup
Why mercury is used in hydrometer?
A hydrometer consists of a cylindrical stem and a bulb weighted with mercury or lead shot to make it float upright. Mercury has a higher density, thus a lower volume for the same weight than lead. It is a toxic liquid metal, but also more dangerous and difficult to clear up the mess when a glass hydrometer is broken
