Course
Physics 0625

Exam points

  • subtract container mass, read liquid volume and calculate liquid density from the two measurements
  • measure regular-solid dimensions and use the appropriate geometric expression for its volume
  • find irregular-solid volume from the cylinder-level rise, then divide its mass by displacement

1.4.2—To determine the density of a liquid question 1

[Maximum number: 2]

An irregularly shaped solid object has a density of 2.7 g/cm32.7 \mathrm{~g} / \mathrm{cm}^{3}.

Describe a method to measure the volume of the irregularly shaped solid object.
