How To Measure Density?

Measure the mass of the object

Measure the volume of the object

Use the formula: density = mass ÷ volume

Record the result in units such as g/cm³ or kg/m³

For irregular objects, determine volume by water displacement

For liquids, use a graduated cylinder to measure volume and a balance to measure mass

For solids, use a balance for mass and direct dimensions or displacement for volume
