Q

How do we work out the density of an irregular object?

A
  • Measure the mass of the object using an balance.
  • Fill a Eureka can with water.
  • Place the object in the water. Causes water to be displaced and flow through the spout.
  • Measure the volume of the water displaced- this is the volume of the object.
  • Calculate density.
