A measuring jar, a large bottle of soft drink or water.
This depends on what you are measuring. A tool that can be used is a tape measure.
Determine the mass of the given body using a physical balance. Let it be 'M'. Take some water in a measuring jar( water in the jar should be sufficient to immerse the solid). Note the initial level of water, let it be 'A'. Suspend the solid inside the jar using a thread so that the solid is fully immersed in the water, without touching the sides or bottom of the measuring jar. Note the water level. Let it be 'B'. Then volume of the solid = A - B. Then density of the solid = M/V.
The question is based on a fallacy. Containers need NOT be used when measuring mass.
Decibels are the scale used for measuring the volume of sounds.
