The simplest way is to use the formula: P = m / V
Density = mass / volume
So to calculate the denisty of the rock you will have to find out how much it weighs and how much volume it occupies.
You can measure the weight by placing the rock on a weighing scale, this will give the weight in grams.
You can determine the volume by submerging the rock in a measuring cup partially filled with water and measuring how much the volume increases. This will give the volume in cm3
Now use the formula to calculate its density in g/cm3.

JudyTo find the density of a rock, measure its mass using a scale and its volume using displacement method or geometric calculations. Then, divide the mass by the volume to calculate the density of the rock. Density is typically expressed in units such as grams per cubic centimeter (g/cm³) or kilograms per cubic meter (kg/m³).
Measure the volume and the mass divide the mass (in thousands of kilograms) by the volume (in cubic meters). If the rock is too large to be measured, take a typical sample of the rock that is small enough and do the measurements on the sample. (If the rock is homogeneous, the density of the sample should not differ from that of the entire rock).

What is the density of 1.3kg of pumice rock?
The density of pumice rock can vary, but on average it is around 0.25-0.55 g/cm^3. To find the density of 1.3kg of pumice rock, you would need to know the volume of the pumice rock. By dividing the mass (1.3kg) by the volume, you can calculate the density.
How rock density affect the formation of war the layers?
Rock density has no direct affect on war.
A rock has a mass of 127grams and displaces 32.1 mL of water What is the density of the rock?
The density of the rock can be calculated by dividing the mass of the rock (127g) by the volume of water it displaces (32.1 mL). The density of the rock is 3.95 g/mL.
A 30 milliliter rock is 15 grams What is the density?
To find the density, divide the mass of the rock (15 grams) by its volume (30 milliliters). Density = mass/volume, so in this case 15 grams / 30 milliliters = 0.5 grams per milliliter. Therefore, the density of the rock is 0.5 g/mL.
If a rock had the mass of 25.1 g and volume of 3 ml What is the density of the rock?
The density of the rock can be calculated by dividing its mass by its volume. In this case, the density of the rock would be 25.1 g / 3 ml = 8.37 g/ml.
