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

1.Tie the piece of metal that is the solid with a thread and hang it on a spring balance 2. find its mass then fill a cylinder up to half and then immerse this piece of metal fully in water 3. find the volume of displaced water with different levels of water 4. Calculate its density .......... density is equal to mass per unit volume and from the above steps we have calculated the mass and volume then we can easily find out the density
