You need its mass and volume.
Volume
It is the mass of the block divided by its volume.
A cuboid or a rectangular prism.
I just call it a box or brick or block
This will usually be the case for objects that have different shapes: even if they have the same volume, it is unlikely that they have the same surface area. As an example, calculate the volume and surface area of the following two rectangular block shapes: 1) A 2 x 2 x 2 rectangular block 2) A 1 x 1 x 8 rectangular block
Volume
It is the mass of the block divided by its volume.
To determine the density of a block, you can use a balance to measure its mass and a ruler to measure its dimensions. The density of the block can then be calculated by dividing the mass by the volume.
on a balance
To find the density of a block, you can use a balance to measure its mass and a ruler to measure its dimensions. Divide the mass of the block by its volume (calculated from its dimensions) to determine the density.
A triple-beam balance can be used. The units could be g/ml the density of a normal wood is 0.88 but a wood block in density can be anything under 1 so it can be 0.95,0.54,etc. waters density is 1 and would can float on water so wood is anything below 1.
Weigh the blockcalculate the volume of the block. This is done by measuring the length, height, and width of the block if it is rectangular. If it is some other shape then other mathematical formula apply. If it is an irregular shape for which no formula exists then you can estimate the volume by incremental methods or by displacement.divide weight by volume.
You would need a tool called a density meter or a hydrometer to measure the density of a block of wood. This device works by comparing the weight of the wood sample to the volume of water displaced by the wood when submerged. The density of the wood can then be calculated based on these measurements.
Density = Mass/Volume
To find the density of a block, you would need a scale to measure its mass and a ruler or caliper to measure its dimensions (length, width, and height). Once you have these measurements, you can use the formula Density = Mass/Volume to calculate the density of the block.
