Question

EXPERIMENT: Determination of the density of solid (denser than water) by using a spring balance and a
measuring cylinder.

I have to make one practical can you please help me ​

Answer 1

AIM : to find the density of the given solid

Materials required :

1. Spring balance
2. measuring cylinder
3. water
4. a solid

Procedure :

• Measure the weight of the solid with the help of spring balance
• Find the mass of the solid by dividing it by 9.8 (gravitational acceleration).
• If it is not in gram then convert it into gram.
• Now, put water in the measuring cylinder and note down the amount of water present in the cylinder
• Now put the solid in the cylinder and now note down the reading
• Subtract the old reading from the new reading and you will get volume of water.
• Convert it into cubic meters (m³)
• Now divide the mass obtained by the volume obtained and you will get the density of the solid in g/m³
