The official, SI unit of mass is the kilogram.
You measure its mass and volume and then density = mass/volume.
Determine its mass on a balance. Determine its volume using water displacement. Divide the mass by the volume.
Determine its mass on a balance. Determine its volume using water displacement. Divide the mass by the volume.
To get the accurate weight/mass before the objects gets wet.
To know the mass of objects
To measure the mass on an irregular object, you can use Water Displacement.Water displacement is a way of measuring mass. Materials needed for this are:A graduated cylinderWaterVariable (Irregular Object).Fill the graduated cylinder with a certain amount of water. Memorize it.Put the irregular object into the graduated cylinder. Find the mass by subtracting the first amount of water from the second. That's your mass.Hope this helps, and sorry if you didn't need all this information!
The objects mass.
-- Measure its mass. -- Measure its volume. -- Divide its mass by its volume. The result is its density.
Mass - of small objects.
weighing scale
you will measure a mass or objects with force
You can dip the irregular solid in a water or other suitable liquid. This is how, you can measure the volume of the solid. The mass can be measured by weighing scale. Mass/volume = density. It is easy to measure the mass and volume of the liquid. First measure the mass the container. Then add the liquid to it. You will get the mass of the liquid. Then measure the volume of the liquid. Use the above formula to calculate the density of the liquid.
Mass is the measure of inertia and if you change the mass the inertia will change.
You can measure mass of a regular solid using a top-pan balance.
Weigh the object. Determine the volume. Divide the mass by the volume to get the density. To get the volume of an irregular shaped object can be challenging especially if there are cavities (holes) in it. submersion in a liquid or powder of known volume might be possible. Measure the difference in the volume of the liquid and the liquid + the object (making sure the object is entirely below the surface of the liquid and that any cavities are filled).
submerge in liquid and measure the displacement
