Scale: mass is one of the most easily obtained measurements. Use scale or electronic balance to
determine the object`s weight, or mass. This measurement is usually represented in ounces or
grams for English and metric system respectively; when measuring the mass of a liquid , first
weigh the container and then tare the scale before adding the liquid.
Graduated cylinder: the most accurate way to determine the object`s volume, especially in the
case of an irregularly shaped object , is to immerse it in water and measure the amount of water
It displaces . a graduated cylinder large enough to hold both the object and enough water to fully
immerse it is best tool for this job. A graduated cylinder can also tell you the volume of liquid
simply by pouring it into an empty cylinder,
Calculating density: one you have measured the mass and volume of an object , you find
density a simple calculation. Divide the mass by the volume to get the density . for example ,
you measure a quantity of pure water in graduated cylinder and see it comes to 11.5ml. you
place a plastic weighting dish on a scale and find its mass is 3.2 grams.
When you add water, the total comes to 14.7 grams, substract the mass of the dish from the
total to get the mass of the water alone, 14.7-3.2=11.5. Divide 11.5grams by 11.5 ml to get the
density, 1.0 grams per ml.
Hydrometer:
Hydrometer is also special device used to determine the density of liquids . rather than
measuring the volume in a graduated cylinder and and then needing to weigh the liquid to
determines its mass .
