In the US, potatoes are generally measured and marketed by weight. They are also graded by quality (general appearance and lack of defects). The hundredweight (abbreviated "cwt") is a common marketing measurement of 100 pounds US.
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
The weight of a potato would best be measured in grams.
You would measure mass in kilograms (kg).
you can rub the potato chips on a brown paper towel
You would use the unit of measure called "kilograms" to measure the mass of an elephant.
If you have a poato with a given mass and turn it into potato chips it will weigh less as water has been driven off in the cooking process. As weight and mass are proportional at any given location it has less mass in its cooked form.
Since you can make many potato chips out of one potato, obviously a whole potato has more mass than one potato chip.
If you want to measure anything you put it on a balance(scale). You probably want to use a digital kitchen scale as they are very accurate and can normally cope with mass's up to 4 may be 5kg.
depends on the salt content of the potato and how concentrated the salt is. the more salt there is in the water than the potato- the more water will exit the potato which then loses mass.
Either grams or kilograms - depending on the size of the potato.
Milligram: to measure its mass.
No, milliliters are used to measure volume, not mass. Mass is typically measured in units such as grams or kilograms.
