What do you need to find an object's density?

You need the object's volume and the object's mass to find the object's density. Then, you divide the object's mass by it's volume. The formula for density is d = density m = mass v = volume


What two things do you need to know to find the density of an object?

To find the density of an object, you need to know its mass and volume. Density is calculated by dividing the mass of the object by its volume.


How is area and volume related?

You need the area to find the volume of an object.


What tools are needed to find the denisty of an object?

To find the density of an object, you would need a balance to measure its mass and a ruler to measure its volume. Once you have these measurements, you can use the formula density = mass/volume to calculate the density of the object.


What information do you need to know about an object to find its density?

To find the density of an object, you need to know its mass (in grams) and volume (in cubic centimeters or milliliters). Density is calculated by dividing the mass of the object by its volume.


How do you find the volume if only the mass is shown?

You can't. Volume is the space occupied by a substance or object. To find the volume from the mass, the density would have to be known. Density = Mass / Volume If you want to find any of the three, you need the other two.


How do you find tension using volume and mass?

To find tension, you also need to know the acceleration of the object it's acting on. Using the mass and volume alone won't give you the tension in the object. You would need additional information such as the acceleration or other forces acting on the object to calculate the tension.


How do you find the density of an irregular shaped object that sinks?

Measure the volume of the object which is same as the volume of the displaced liquid in which that sinks. And measure the mass of the same object from a weighing machine. then use 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 do you find the density of something?

you have to know the mass and volume of the object. density equals the mass divided by the volume. if the mass of something was 5 and the volume 1 the density would be 5


How can you find the mass of an object if the volume is known but not the density?

Without knowing either the mass of an object or its density, it would be impossible to find the mass. There would be two variables and only one equation. Thus, one cannot find the mass of an object solely from its volume.


Why can't we measure the volume of an object if it floats on water?

Simply because the volume of water displaced is not equal to the actual volume of the object. If an object is lighter than water, you have to find another method of determining its volume. ------------------------------------ alternatively you could use a very thin pin to push the object under the water. However, the volume of the submerged portion of the pin would need to be suvtracted from the volume of the object measured.
