density of a solid is generally measured in grams/cubic centimeter.

Using this information, we must determine the mass of the object, as well as it's volume/ displacement. You could measure it with something, or try submerging it in water, and record the displacement.

Once the mass and volume are known the calculation is simple.

The mass (in grams) is divided by the volume in cubic centimeters, or milliliters. This results in the unit of grams/cubic centimeter, or g/cc, or g/cm^3.

Happy experimenting!

What are 2 ways to find density?

Density can be calculated by dividing an object's mass by its volume. Another way to find density is by using the formula: Density = mass/volume.


How do you find the density with just the volume?

To find density with just the volume, you need to know the mass of the object as well. Density is calculated by dividing the mass of an object by its volume. The formula for density is: Density = Mass / Volume.


How would you find the density of a crown?

You would find the density of a crown by dividing the crown's mass by its volume. The formula for density is density = mass/volume. Weigh the crown to find its mass and then measure its volume by displacement in a known liquid.


Why do corks float in water?

Any object placed in water will be pulled down into the liquid by gravity. No surprise there. But an object less dense than water will only be pulled down until the object displaces an amount of water equal to its own mass. Then it will float. The water will be pushing up equal to the force of gravity pulling down - an equilibrium. Any object that weighs less than its own volume of water will float. It's lower overall density will result in buoyancy.


How do you find relative density of liquid?

To find the relative density of a liquid, you need to compare its density to the density of water. The formula for relative density is the density of the liquid divided by the density of water at a specific temperature. By measuring the mass of a given volume of the liquid and comparing it to the mass of an equal volume of water, you can calculate the relative density.

How can I find information on making a wine cork trivet?

You can find information on making wine cork trivets at the following website: http://wineintro.com/products/corks/trivet.html. The basics of it is that you have a bunch of wine corks and arrange and glue them onto a tray.


When purchasing wine supplies, should I purchase extra corks for the bottles?

You will invariably lose or ruin a certain number of corks. It should be less than five percent however. Since corks won't be overly expensive you should just add a few extra to your order. That's a matter of choice, but corks aren't expensive and you would eventually need more corks any way. So if you order some extra corks it's not going to be all that expensive.

How to clean corks effectively to maintain their quality and appearance?

To clean corks effectively and maintain their quality and appearance, gently wipe them with a damp cloth to remove any dirt or residue. Avoid using harsh chemicals or soaking the corks in water, as this can damage them. Allow the corks to air dry completely before using them again.
