Question

2 A cork floats in water. Suggest how you
could find the volume of an irregular
piece of cork.​

Answer 1

Ello user !!!!!!

Here is your answer,

=============================================

The formula for density is--Density =Mass/volume. To find the mass of an object, it can be weighed using a balance or a digital scale.

The units will be in grams.

To find the volume of that object, if it is floating, you need to find out how much water the object displaces.

==============================================

HOPE THIS HELPS YOUU :)

AND STAY BLESSED.

Answer 2

We can find the volume of an irregular piece of cork in the following way -

• The mathematical elaboration of the density of an object is :

Density = Mass/Volume

• Now,we can calculate the mass the cork with any kind of mass measuring devices.

• And,we have to calculate the volume the cork also,which we can calculate by the water displacement method of Archimedes.

• Now,when we finally get the value of the mass and volume,we can find the density of the object by the above mentioned mathematical formula. (In the SI unit of kg/m²)
