first, you weigh it to get its mass. then you acquire its volume, since it has an irregular shape, you apply water displacement method. get a calibrated cylinder, note the initial water level and gently drop the potato in. measure the resulting water level and subtract it with the initial water level. this is your volume.
density= mass/volume
simply divide what you measured in grams with the volume of the potato (cm3).
unit of density is grams per cubic centimeter or g/cm3
What else can I help you with?
Why does a potato sink?
A potato sinks in water because its density is greater than that of water. This means that the weight of the potato is enough to overcome the buoyant force exerted by the water, causing it to sink.
What is the planet with an average density less then the density of water?
Saturn would float in water if you could find a big enough tub and the water to fill it.
Can the fomula to find density find the density of styrofoam?
Yes.
Find the density of a solid?
mass/volume=density
What tool do you use to find density?
To find the density of a substance, you can use a tool called a balance to measure the mass of the substance, and a tool called a graduated cylinder to measure the volume of the substance. Density is then calculated by dividing the mass by the volume of the substance.
How do you find the density of a potato?
First weigh the potato (in grams). Next, place the potato in a tub of water, and measure how much the volume of the water changes upon placing the potato in. This gives you the volume of the potato (in mls). Then divide the mass (g) by the volume (ml) to get the density in g/ml.
How do you find the density of air in a potato bag?
You pop the bag open and capture the air
What is the density of botato?
Potato? Density is volume/mass. Work it out yourself.
Facts about a density column?
potato
How do you find the piplup boat?
POTATO! POTATO!! POTATO!!! POTATO!!!!
Who knew you could bake a potato?
I knew you could bake a potato...
Where can one find information on the best potato recipes?
One can find some of the best potato recipes in cookbooks, especially those that cater to either vegetarian or 'pioneer' cooks. One could also contact the Idaho Potato Commission and inquire about recipes.
Why does a pear float and a sweet potato sink?
Because the density of the sweet potato is less than that of the water.
How could you find the density of water?
density = mass/volume Determine the mass and volume of the water, and then divide the mass by the volume, and that will give you the density.
Where can I find a list of potato salad recipes?
There is a lot of potato salad recipes that suit your taste. In order to find them, you could visit websites of All Recipes, Southern Living, Food, Food Network and Cooks.
How do you tell if gold is real?
Bite it...well you could find the density of it by this equation density=mass/volume and compare it to the density of gold on the periodic table
If you know the density and volume of a substance how could you find its mass?
You can find the mass of a substance by using the formula mass = density x volume. Multiply the density of the substance by its volume to calculate the mass.
