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.
