Denisty of an irregular solid

Density of an irregular solid

Method

Measure mass using balance

Measure volume by using the displacement method (submerge solid in a Eureka can and collect the overflow in a measuring cylinder

Calculate density (D=m/V)

M=123.3 g

V= 43.20 cm3

D=M/V

D=123.3/43.2

=2.854 g/cm3
