Submerse the object in a completely full bucket. measure the volume of the displaced water due to the object. Multiply the volume of the displaced water by the density of the object to give mass.

How is the density of a floating object relate to the density of the fluid it is floating in?

If an item floats, Then it is less dense than the liquid it floats in. One can prove this using bernoulli's equation. To determine the weight of the floating object, take the volume of water displaced by the portion of the object below the fliud surface then multiply that by the density of the fluid. This process gives you the bouyant force on the floating object and therefore the weight. Then take that weight and divide it by the total volume of the. Object to get its density. Also note that if an item is suspended below the surface but. Above the bottom of the fluid body, then the item and fluid have equal density. If the item sinks to the bottom it has higher density than the fluid.


How do you prove 1 kg equal to 1000 grams?

To prove that 1 kg is equal to 1000 grams, you can use the definition of the kilogram as the base unit of mass in the metric system. By definition, 1 kilogram is equal to 1000 grams. This relationship is established and accepted in the International System of Units (SI).


Whats more dense A box of cereal or a can of soup?

A can of soup is mostly water, which is pretty dense. A box of cereal is mostly air (I'm thinking rice crispies or corn pops), which is far less dense than water. But what you should do to prove it is get a box of cereal and measure its dimensions. Multiply the dimensions -- length, width, and height -- to determine its volume. Divide the box's net weight by the volume to determine its weight density. Then get a box or can of College Inn chicken broth. (For some reason, College Inn chicken broth is packaged by net weight instead of by volume in fluid ounces.) Divide the net weight by the package's volume to determine its weight density. Then compare the two.


How do Archimedes prove that the king's crown was not solid gold?

Archimedes used water displacement to determine the volume of the crown and compared it to the volume of pure gold of the same weight. If the crown's volume was greater, meaning it had been alloyed with a less dense metal, then the king's crown was not made of solid gold.


What experiments prove that solids occupy space?

One experiment that proves solids occupy space is measuring the volume of a solid using displacement method. By placing the solid in a container with water and measuring the change in water level, you can determine the volume of the solid. Another experiment involves using a caliper to measure the dimensions of a solid and then calculating its volume using the formula for the volume of a solid object.

Because if a substance can't be known then it has to prove its mass and volume


How can you prove that the volume of a sphere is equal to the volume of a cylinder provided their radii are equal and the height of the cylinder is equal to the diameter of the sphere?

I'm quite sure this is impossible to prove, because the volume of a sphere is not equal to the volume of a cylinder with the same radius and height equal to the sphere's diameter. This can be shown as: Volume of sphere = (4*pi*r3) / 3. Volume of cylinder = pi*r2*h. Here, the height, h, of the cylinder = d = 2r. So, the volume of the cylinder = pi*r2*2r = 2*pi*r3, which obviously does not equal the volume of the sphere. The volume of half a sphere (with radius r) is equal to the volume of a cylinder(whose height is equal to its radius, r) minus the volume of a cone with the same height and radius. Therefore, the volume of a sphere is just double that. If you follow the nearby link, you can see a nice demonstration of that.


How is the density formula rearranged to solve for v?

density = mass/volume volume = mass/density mass = volume*density Here are some numbers from a recent chem experiment that prove this. 4.360g/mL = 30g/6.88mL 6.88mL = 30g/4.360g/mL 30g = 6.88mL*4.360g/mL


Which has a higher density a kilogram of sand or a kilogram of feathers?

Sand. Density is mass / volume. So a higher volume will equal a lower density. Clearly a Kg of feathers will (normally) take up more volume than a Kg of sand therefore the feathers are less dense. You could think of it this way: density is measuring how close together the atoms in a substance are. When the atoms are closer together they take up less volume and the substance is more dense. If you put a Kg of feathers in a box, the feathers would not all join together perfectly meaning that there would be gaps between feathers and therefore the volume taken up by the feathers is greater. You could prove this by trying to push your hand through the feathers. You would be pushing through partly air (which is a mixture of gases and the atoms in a gas are further apart than in a solid) so the task would be easier. It is like comparing pushing your hand through a solid and pushing your hand through solids separated by gas. The latter is easier because there is some "room" for the atoms in the solid to move in to and thus for the feathers to move out of the way of your hand.


Show that the volume of cylinder is equal to one third the volume of cone?

It isn't. If the cylinder and the cone have the same height and radius, the cylinder has a larger volume (twice as large). If they do not have the same height and radius you need more information to prove their relative volumes.


How do you prove that a trapezoid is isosceles?

You prove that the two sides (not the bases) are equal in length. Or that the base angles are equal measure.

How can you prove that it is water soluble?

To prove that a substance is water-soluble, you can simply mix the substance with water and observe if it dissolves. If the substance dissolves in water and forms a homogeneous solution, it is considered water-soluble.

Prove a new penny is not made of pure copper It has a mass of 2.49 and a volume of 0.349cm3?

at first, you have to find the density of the penny. [density = mass/ volume ] so 2.49/ 0.349 = 7.1347. rounded to 7.1 but the density of the copper is 8.92 g/ cm3 as the densities are not close, the penny is not pure copper. hope this help :)
