A
Area/volume
2
Q
Density of an irregularly shaped object
A
Measure the mass
Fill the displacement can with water until it is dripping and wait for it to stop in a beaker underneath
Put a measuring cylinder underneath instead
Put in the object and work out the volume displaced
Mass/volume
3
Q
Density of a liquid
A
Measure the mass of a 100cm3 measuring cylinder
Add about 10cm3 of the sugar solution
Work out the combined mass
Subtract the mass of the measuring cylinder
Mass/volume
