Determining Density of an Irregular Solid

In this section, the process of determining the density of an irregular solid, such as a rock, is explained. The method involves using a balance to measure mass, a beaker and water for volume determination, and calculating density based on these measurements.

Determining Mass and Volume

• A balance is used to determine the mass of the object.

• Water displacement method is employed to find the volume of the object.

• Volume 2 (after adding the object) is subtracted from Volume 1 (initial water volume) to obtain the volume of the object.

Measuring Volume with Water

• The rock's mass is measured at 66.1 grams.

• Water is added incrementally up to 110 in a graduated cylinder to measure initial volume.

• The rock is then added carefully into the cylinder without causing splashing or damage.

Calculating Density

• Volume after adding the rock is determined to be approximately 136 ml.

• With mass at 66.1 grams and volumes known, density calculation ensues.
