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.

∙ 7y agoMeasure 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).

How rock density affect the formation of war the layers?
Rock density has no direct affect on war.
If a piece of rock has a volume of 0.73 L and a mass of 1524 g what is the density of the rock in gmL?
The density is 2,09 g/cm3.
What is the density of a rock that have the mass of 234 g and a volume of 7.9 cms?
density = mass / volume d = 234g / 7.9cm = 29.6 g/cm
Can the fomula to find density find the density of styrofoam?
Yes.
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 is its mass divided by its volume (in suitable units). Since a millilitre is the same volume as a cubic centimetre, density = 127 grams / 32.1 cm3 = 3.956 g/cm3
How do you determine the density of a small rock?
You probaly read what i wrote earlier gregorS, if not, type in "how to find the density of a large rock" heheheheheheheh HAHAHAHAHAH MWOHAHAHAHAHAH!
How do you use the word density in a sentence?
You can find a rock's density in many different ways. That object has a high density and will not float on water.
How can you find the density of a rock or key?
Find the mass using a scale. Find the volume by the water displacement method. Divide mass by volume and that equals density.
How do you find out a rock's density without using a kitchen scale?
it's impossible
Where do you find rockart in Africa?
South Africa has a quite a lot of rock art. The Drakensberg mountains have the highest density of rock art.
What is the only rock that has less density in water?
The density of an object is constant, therefore, no rock can have less density in water.
Which tool should be used to determine the density of a rock?
There are a number of tools that are needed to find the density of a rock. You will mainly need a scale to measure the weight and the volume of the rock. Divide the mass of the rock by the volume to find the density.
Which has more density a rock or pillow?
A rock
How rock density affect the formation of war the layers?
Rock density has no direct affect on war.
If you have a rock with a volume of 15cm3 and a mass of 45g What is its density?
The rock's density is 3 g/cm3
How do you find mass of a rock by its density?
Determine its volume by how much water it displaces, then divide mass by volume
What extrusive rock has a very low density?
An extrusive igneous rock has a very low density. This light colored rock is also known as a volcanic rock.
