Question

To determine the density of solid (denser than water) by using a spring balance and measuring cylinder, write down four steps of the procedure

Answer 1

Aim:
To find the determine the density of solid by spring balance.

Apparatus :
A spring balance , a solid object like stone , thread, water and graduated cylinder.
Procedure :
Step 1: Take a spring balance 
Step 2:
Tie a stone to the thread and suspend from the hook at the lower end of the spring balance .Reading of spring balance is noted down.It gives us mass of the stone.
Step 3: Some water is poured in the cylinder and initial reading is measured . Let it be V1
Step 4:
 Now, the stone is fully immersed in water without touching the sides walls of container. The level of water increases. Let the reading be V2.

Observation :
mass of the stone = m=-----------gms
Volume of the stone=V2-V1 = V ml
Now density of the stone can be found by :
Density=mass/volume

Answer 2
