Question

Your science teacher has Your science teacher given you a triple beam

balance, a graduated cylinder and a beaker of water.
Explain how to find the density of an irregular
shaped object such as a small rock.
(Pls help me,I need a answer)

Answer 1

See explanation.

Step-by-step explanation:

Density is equal to mass divided by volume.

You can find the mass of the rock using the triple beam balance.

You can find the volume of the rock by pouring water from the beaker into the graduated cylinder, and seeing how much the volume of water in the cylinder changes. This change is the volume of the rock. For example, if you pour 50mL into the cylinder, add the rock, and see the new volume is 53mL, then the rock has a volume of 3mL or 3cm^3 (because one milliliter is equal to one cubic centimeter).

Then, divide the mass of the rock by the volume of the rock.
