To obtain the density you need to know the mass, and the volume of the object.

So you'd have to weigh it using a balance to obtain the mass.

The easiest way to measure the volume (particularly if it's an irregular shape) would be via the displacement of water.

density = mass / volume

How do you measure the density of a metal?

-- Get a pure piece of it. The size of the piece doesn't matter. -- Measure the mass of the piece. -- Measure the volume of the piece. -- The density of the substance is mass of the piece/volume of the piece.


How much does a piece of metal weigh?

That would vary greatly depending on the type and density of the metal, along with the dimensions of the particular piece. The weight of a piece of anything is the volume times the density.

What is the density of a piece of metal that has a mass of 277G and a volume of 38cm3?

The density of the metal can be calculated using the formula: Density = Mass / Volume. In this case, Density = 277g / 38cm3 = 7.29 g/cm3.


What is the density of a metal if you cut it in half and the original density was 8.4?

If you cut a metal in half, each half will have the same density as the original metal, so the density of each half will still be 8.4. The density of a material does not change when you cut it into pieces.
