How do you work out the density of something?

Answer 1

This was Arcamedie's great discovery.

Weigh the gold.

Place the gold in a beaker full of water

Capture and measure the amount of the water displaced

divided the weight by the volume and you have the density.

Answer 2

Density is calculated by dividing the mass of an object by its volume. The formula for density is: Density = mass / volume. The units for density are typically grams per cubic centimeter (g/cm^3) for solids and liquids, and grams per milliliter (g/ml) for liquids.

Answer 3

Density- The amount of mass that 1cm3 of a substance has. Measured in grams per cubic centimetre.

To work it out:

Mass/volume= density

hope this helps (it will if u do science)

Answer 4

The density of gold is 19.3. At a temperature of 20 centigrade above zero.

Answer 5

Density = Mass divided by Volume

So if we take a known volume of gold, and find out its weight, we can determine the density.
