Part 1: Calculating the density of regular shaped objects

• What is the first step in the practical procedure?

  Measure dimensions and calculate volume
• What is the second step in the practical procedure?

  Measure mass using a calibrated balance
• How is density calculated in the practical?

  Density is calculated from mass and volume
• What is the formula for the volume of a prism?

  • Volume = area of face x height
• What is the equation for the volume of a rectangular prism?

  Volume = Length x Width x Height
• What is the formula for the volume of a sphere?

  Volume = $\frac{4}{3} \pi r^3$
• What equation is used to calculate density?

  Density = Mass / Volume
• What unit is used for density?

  kg/m³
• What equipment is used to measure mass?

  A digital balance
• What must be done before using a digital balance?

  It should be zeroed before use
• How do you convert from g/cm³ to kg/m³?

  Multiply the value by 1000
