How is the density of a small solid sample whose mass and volume is difficult to measure is determined?

Use a container with a liquid (water). Mark the level of the liquid on the container. Insert the small solid sample. Mark the level of the liquid now on the container. compute the difference between the two marks. You can use traditional computation for calculating volume.

Density can be determined using the formula?
I have no clue. Sorry. :( ^^ Ignore that ^^ I think Density = mass/volume.
What is the mass of a sample divided by its volume?
Its density. Density is mass per unit volume.
What is the density of a mineral sample with a mass of 20 g and a volume of 12 cm?
Density is the measure of mass per unit volume. Volume cannot be measured in centimetres (cm). Without a measure of volume, the answer is indeterminate.
A student determined that the density of a sample of tin is 8 00 mL when the actual density of tin is 7 28 mL What was the percent error in the student's calculation?
((8 - 7.28)/7.28) x 100 = 9.89%
How can you work out the density of salt in water?
salinity can be determined by measuring the chlorinity of the sample since the chlorinity is easy to measure, and the principle of constant proportions applies to all seawater, scientist can use the following formula to determine salinity: salinity in %o=1.80655 x Chlorinity in %o
How do you measure the density of a material?
-- Get a piece of the material. It doesn't matter what size it is. -- Measure the mass of the sample. -- Measure the volume of the sample. -- Divide the mass by the volume. The result is the density of the material.

How can you find the density of?
Take a sample. Measure its mass and volume. divide. Density = m/v
How can you find the density of saltwater?
Take a sample. Measure its mass and volume. divide. Density = m/v
How do you measure wood's density?
The same way you measure the density of any other material. Divide the mass of a sample by its volume.
What is the mass of a sample divided by its volume?
Its density. Density is mass per unit volume.

Density is the measure of mass per unit volume. Volume cannot be measured in centimetres (cm). Without a measure of volume, the answer is indeterminate.
What is the eqyaion for density?
Density of a substance = (mass of a sample of it)/(volume of the same sample)
Why you must measure mass before you can determine density?
The definition of density is: (mass) divided by (volume). It's going to be pretty tough to determine the sample's density if you don't figure out some way to find its mass.
What is density of petrol at 25 degree Celsius and 30 degree Celsius?
Exactly the way you measure the density of anything else. -- Procure a clean, representative sample of the substance, any size. -- Measure the mass of the sample. -- Measure the volume of the sample. -- Take the numbers out of the laboratory and back to your cubicle. -- Divide the sample's mass by its volume. -- The quotient is the density of the substance.
How and why would you use a beaker to measure the density of an object?
A beaker filled with liquid can be used to measure the volume of a non-soluble solid, or of a liquid. If the mass of the solid or liquid sample has been previously determined, the liquid (usually water) displaced from a filled beaker will provide the volume of the sample. Mass divided by volume gives the density. One of the early uses of the process was to identify counterfeit gold coins. In order to weigh the same as real gold coins, fakes would have to be thicker, and therefore have greater volume.
How displacement determined?
Liniar Displacement:Measure the start position (X1) and then the end position (X2), then subtract: X2-X1 = the displacement of the object in a straight line.Volume Displacement:Displacement (V) and mass (m) of a meterial is related by the density (p). given byp = m/V this means if you want to determane the volume a certain meterial will displace you need the density and the mass and the other way around if you want to determane the density (whitch is a constant for that meterial) you need only measure the mass of that sample and the displacement.So to practically measure the displacement of volume you can take the sample and insert it into a known volume (like a half filled measuring beaker) record the volume before, and after the sample was inserted and calculate the difference (use a liquid, and make sure the sample is insoluble in that liquid).Sterkte!
