That depends on how much cork you have. If you have a large piece, then it will
have more volume and more mass. If you only have a tiny piece, then the volume
and the mass will both be very small. The volume and the mass will always change
together like that, in the same direction. The only thing you can always be sure of
is that no matter what size piece of cork you have, the grams of mass will always
be about 0.2 times the volume in cubic centimeters.
You can have cork in pieces of different size.
density of 1.5 cm tall and mass of 1.0 g of a cube of a cork=mass/volume of cube== 1.0/(1.5*1.5*1.5)gm/cm3=.2963gm/cm3

If you have a caliper this is really easy. Corks are truncated cones. Measure the diameter of the cork at the top and at the bottom, average them, then calculate the volume using the average diameter.
The answer is the VOLUME
Mass is the amount of matter, volume is the amount of space, and density uses both, it is mass / volume.
Volume of a substance is measured in cubic units and is given by dividing its mass by its volume. In this case it is not possible to find the density of the cork since 2.71cm2 is a measurement of an area.
Density = (mass) / (volume) = 2.1/14 = 0.15 gm/cc
Density = Mass/Volume = 2/8 = 0.25 g per cm3
There are multiple methods as to estimate the density of irregular objects. The cork can be cut into a cylinder form. Using the equation for the volume of cylinder, and density (D = mass/volume) the cork density can be approximated.

Mass = Density x Volume Density = Mass/Volume Volume = Mass/Density
We need specific measurements to calculate any volume.
It?æ is hard to find the density of a cork in water because?æ cork floats?æ in water. Density of a substance is given by its?æ mass divide?æ by its volume and since cork does not submerge, it is difficult to find its volume.
Step 1: Fill a graduated cylinder with water Step 2: Measure how much water is in the cylinder Step 3: Place the cork in the water Step 4: Measure the amount of water again Step 5: Subtract amount of water without cork and amount of water with cork regular- cork = volume of cork This method is called water displacement.
