How could you find the density of a potato?

first, you weigh it to get its mass. then you acquire its volume, since it has an irregular shape, you apply water displacement method. get a calibrated cylinder, note the initial water level and gently drop the potato in. measure the resulting water level and subtract it with the initial water level. this is your volume. density= mass/volume simply divide what you measured in grams with the volume of the potato (cm3). unit of density is grams per cubic centimeter or g/cm3
