How do you find the density of a irregular object?

In: Physics, Chemistry [Edit categories]

Answer:

1.Take a triple beam balance to find the weight
2.Then take a graduated cylinder a fill it about half way up with water
3.Measure how much water is in the container
4.Put your irregular shape in the water
5.Measure the water now
6.Subtract the difference
7.Then take your weight (in grams) divide by your volume (the difference of the water)

AND THAT IS YOUR DENSITY

How do you find the density of an irregular object?
SO i did and experiment on a irregular shape object .and if you want to find the density of a marble you have to weigh it first on a tripple beam balance then you record what the mass was. then u use...
How do you find density of irregular object?
Weigh the object in air and then in water. The density is equal to the weight in air divided by the difference between the weight in air and the weight in water.
