Question

density of irregular solid can be determined by_____________​

Answer 1

Answer:

In order to find the density we must posses knowledge of 2 parameters. First being mass, and second being volume.(Density d =mass/volume.)

So, mass can be measured easily but the struggle is with finding the volume of the solid.

In order to find the volume we can have multiple approaches.

(1) Melt the solid and pour in a measuring container.

(2) Divide the solid into imaginary parts and calculate volume of each and get the integral sum.

(3) Melt the solid and convert it into regular solid(say rectangle).

(4) The easiest method is cut a piece of regular shape from your irregular solid and measure its mass and volume and then subject to the formula.

(As density is an intrinsic property, so it does not depend on the size/shape/volume etc.)

(5) Last method is to beat the solid to form a regular or approximately regular shape and then .. (you know the rest).
