Ok, say you have a hollow log. Now say you stuffed it with cotton. The more that is in the log, it gets heavier. That is how density works.

Density is a measure of how much mass is contained in a given volume. It is calculated by dividing an object's mass by its volume. Denser objects have more mass packed into a smaller space, while less dense objects have less mass in the same volume.
To work out the density of an object, you need to know its mass (weight) and volume. Density is calculated by dividing the mass of the object by its volume.
The density of a potato is approximately 0.79 grams per cubic centimeter.
To calculate the mass of an object, you can use the formula: mass = density x volume. Multiply the density of the object by its volume to find the mass. Make sure the units for density and volume are compatible, such as grams per cubic centimeter for density and cubic centimeters for volume.
There are many types density, like true density, tap density, bulk density etc. Can use analyzer like G-DenPyc 2900 gas pycnometer analyzer to measure them. Aerometer or Hydrometer for density of liquids, Dasymeter for density of gases and Resonant Frequency and Damping Analyser (RFDA) for density of solids.
A gamma density meter works by measuring the level of gamma radiation that passes through a material. This measurement is then used to determine the density of the material being scanned. The higher the density of the material, the more gamma radiation is absorbed, resulting in a lower reading on the meter.
