Any instruments that can measure mass and length. (not at the same time, doesnt have to be the same instrument).

By measuring the length, height and width of an object you can determine it's volume and by weighing it you can determine it's mass.

From these results it's possible to calculate the objects density.

since density is mass / volume, you need only to measure the volume of the substance, and its mass. there are many various instruments to do both of these measurements.

Why does hydrometer is used to find the density of dock?

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 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.

What is used to measure density?

A very common instrument for the direct measurement of the density of a liquid is the hydrometer, which measures the volume displaced by an object of known mass. A common laboratory device for measuring fluid density is apycnometer; a related device for measuring the absolute density of a solid is a gas pycnometer. Another instrument used to determine the density of a liquidor a gas is the digital density meter - based on the oscillating U-tube principle.


How do you find the density of a rectangular solid if the only instrument you have with you is a ruler?

You're pretty much up a creek. You can find the volume using only a ruler, but without a way to find the mass, you will not be able to determine the density.
