Which set of tools will provide the most precise measurements for calculating the density of an irregulary shaped rock?

It depends on the size and mass of the rock. For a "normal" rock (as opposed to merely a stone) I suggest a crane with some means for measuring the rock's mass. A number of pulleys, each with a weighing machine should do the trick. Alternatively, you could use a weighbridge, if there is one in the vicinity.
To obtain its volume, you probably need a 3-d laser-profiling device. That should give the most precise measurement of its volume.

Why is 8.1956 most precise measuring device?
It is not; there are more precise measurements.
Which two measurements are the most prrecise?
Radio-Telescope measurements are the most precise
What is the most precise measurment 6cm or 2.5cm?
2.5cm is the most precise measurement of the two measurements.
How precise are measurements to instruments?
They depend on the design of the instrument.
Are precise measurements always accurate?
No. A broken clock gives a very precise time, but most of the time it is wrong.
Which term describes how close measurements are to each other?
Generally, this term is called ACCURACY.

Can a measurements be both precise and accurate?
yes...
What is the meaning of this sentence they observed precise measurements in constructing pyramids?
It means they (the builders, or architects) possessed/had very precise(exact) measurements when they were constructing (building) the pyramids.
What is the most precise measurment 6cm or 2.5cm?
2.5cm is the most precise measurement of the two measurements.
How precise are measurements to instruments?
They depend on the design of the instrument.
Why are the stopwatch measurements not precise?
The measurements are not as precise as they could be because many peoples' response times are of the order of a tenth of a second. This makes it pointless to have a stopwatch recording times to a hundredth of a second.
Are precise measurements always accurate?
No. A broken clock gives a very precise time, but most of the time it is wrong.
If some measurements agree closely with each other but differ widely from the actual value these measurements are?
precise but unreliable.
Why should your calculations never be more precise than your measurements?
Your calculations can be more precise, but the final result should be rounded, to avoid giving the impression that it is more exact than is justified by the measurements.
How do you keep your measurements consistent even if you are not precise or accurate?
You could do it by saying that all your measurements were 10 centimetres - irrespective of what they actually were. That would be neither precise nor accurate but it sure would be consistent!
