Firstly weigh it. Then dunk it in water to see how much water is displaced. This gives you the volume. The density is then the mass / volume.
Units are most often kg.m^-3

What are the 3 problems of irregular solid?
its volume can only be messured by displacement. it is difficult to equaly devide. it can be difficult to determine density if you are trying to determine the density of the material, not the object.
Why the effect of gravitation is more in liquid than in solid?
Gravitation attracts masses, resulting in an attractive force. In a liquid, the molecules move quickly and move out of the way of a solid object in the liquid. Hence, a dense solid object will sink if its density is greater than that of the liquid because the liquid is displaced by the object as it moves.
Is density of liquid have lower density of solid?
That depends on the liquid and the solid. Coal is a solid with a very low density. Mercury is a liquid with a very high density.
If the solid is not completely submerged in the water Explain how this technique error affects the reported density of the solid?
You wouldn't get the right reading of volume of the object, so you're density calculation would be off.
What is liquid density?
Density is the ratio of an object's mass divided by its volume. The standard international unit to measure density is kilograms per cubic meter (kg/m3). Whether it is a liquid or solid or gas makes no difference.
What is the formula for the density of a solid object?
Density= mass/volume
Can density determine if an object is hollow?
If we know the material that makes up the object, we will also know the density of the material. By measuring the volume and mass of the object, it is possible to find out if it is solid or hollow. This will only work if we know the material and we know the density of the material.
What could you do to an object to change its density?
Adding heat to the object if the object is a solid.
What is the matter of an object with a high density?
This is a solid.
The density of a solid object is defined as the ratio of the mass of the object to its volume The dimension of density is?
[m][l]^-3
Is the density in a solid object high?
yes it does because the higher the mass and volume are, the higher the density would be
What is the density on fluid of an object sinking?
If an object sinks in a fluid then it has a density greater than the fluid. This assumes the object is solid and not shaped like a boat.
What will happen if a solid object immersed in a fluid weighs more than the volume of the fluid displaced by the solid?
Then the solid object has a greater density and will sink.
What is solid in mathematics?
It is a 3 dimensional object that has density and volume
Why does a dense object float in the Dead Sea?
An object float in a liquid only when the density of the solid is lower than the density of the liquid.
WHAT happens to a solid object with a density that is less than the density of water when it is placed in water?
It floats
How much salt does it take to make a solid object float?
It depends on the density of the object you are using
