A scale can measure the weight of a rock, but it does not directly measure its volume. To determine the volume, you can use methods like water displacement or geometric calculations if the rock’s shape is regular. The relationship between weight and volume can then be used alongside the rock's density if needed.
What else can I help you with?
How can you figure out the density of a irregular rock?
To determine the density of an irregular rock, you can use the water displacement method. First, measure the initial volume of water in a graduated cylinder. Then, submerge the rock completely in the water and measure the new water level; the difference in volume indicates the rock's volume. Finally, divide the mass of the rock (measured using a scale) by the volume obtained from the water displacement to calculate the density.
What is the scale factor that doubles the size of a figure is?
The scale factor that doubles the size of a figure is 2. When a figure is enlarged by a scale factor of 2, all its dimensions—such as length, width, and height—are multiplied by 2, resulting in a figure that has four times the area and eight times the volume of the original.
How could you figure out the volume of an irregular solid such as a rock?
Fill a bowl of water that is bigger than the rock right to the top, add the rock, collect and measure the volume of how much water is spilt. Provide the rock is not porous or very soluble this will provide the volume of the rock.
How do you know that the rock in the figure with the graduated cylinder has a volume of 10 mL?
The level of the liquid in the cylinder rose by 10 mL when the rock was submerged in the liquid.
Is multiplying the length x width x height a good method to find the volume of a rock?
No. I say this because a rock is usually circular and not a perfect figure. :-)

Mass of rock?
Mass is measured by density multiplied by volume. In order to figure out a mass of a rock, one must know its density and its volume measurements.

How do you calculate the density of an irregular shape object such as a rock?
To calculate the density of an irregular object like a rock, you can measure its mass using a scale and then determine its volume using the water displacement method. Once you have the mass and volume, you can divide the mass by the volume to obtain the density of the rock.
How can you find the density of a rock or key?
Find the mass using a scale. Find the volume by the water displacement method. Divide mass by volume and that equals density.
If a rock had the mass of 25.1 g and volume of 3 ml What is the density of the rock?
The density of the rock can be calculated by dividing its mass by its volume. In this case, the density of the rock would be 25.1 g / 3 ml = 8.37 g/ml.
How do you know that the rock in the figure with the graduated cylinder has a volume of 10 mL?
The level of the liquid in the cylinder rose by 10 mL when the rock was submerged in the liquid.
What is the density of a rock that has a mass of 96.2 grams?
there is not enough information to figure this one out, You need the volume (or if you know the elements its made out of , you can figure it out through molar mass)
Is multiplying the length x width x height a good method to find the volume of a rock?
No. I say this because a rock is usually circular and not a perfect figure. :-)
How do you figure out the weight of a rock?
You could weigh it. You can also determine its density by comparing it to an equal volume of water, but first you would have to determine how much water it displaces to determine its volume.
What is the space inside a figure called?
It depends on the type of figure. If it is a 2D figure, then it is called area. If it is a 3D figure, then it is called volume.
How do you find a volume of a L-Shaped figure?
An L shaped figure is a plane figure and so will not have a volume.
