This depends upon the phase of the material whose density you wish to find. Fir an irregularly shaped solid, you would have to find the volume using a graduated cylinder (to measure how much liquid it displaces) and then weigh it on a scale (probably a triple beam balance). A regularly shaped solid would not require a graduated cylinder, you could just get its measurements with a ruler. A liquid could be measured using a graduated cylinder and a scale. A gas could have its density relative to that of the air measured by observing its buoyancy vs. weight measured in a balloon. That is a bit more complicated.
A hydrometer is typically used to find the density of a liquid. It measures the specific gravity of the liquid, which can then be used to calculate its density.
One method is to use a hydrometer, which is a tool that floats in the liquid and measures the buoyancy to determine the density. Another method is to use a digital densitometer that uses the principles of mass and volume to calculate the density of the liquid. These devices can provide accurate measurements quickly and efficiently.
You would need a tool called a density meter or a hydrometer to measure the density of a block of wood. This device works by comparing the weight of the wood sample to the volume of water displaced by the wood when submerged. The density of the wood can then be calculated based on these measurements.
To find an object's density, you can use the formula: Density = mass / volume This equation calculates density in units of mass divided by volume, usually measured in grams per cubic centimeter or kilograms per cubic meter.
You can find a rock's density in many different ways. That object has a high density and will not float on water.
Density is a physical property of matter: it is not a tool.
A hydrometer is typically used to find the density of a liquid. It measures the specific gravity of the liquid, which can then be used to calculate its density.
What tool you should use depends on what you want to achieve.
Mass = Density -------- volume
the tool used to find the width of a pencil is a ruler. But use the centimeter side of it for the width only!!
To find the density of a substance, you can use a tool called a balance to measure the mass of the substance, and a tool called a graduated cylinder to measure the volume of the substance. Density is then calculated by dividing the mass by the volume of the substance.

To find the volume of mercury, you need to know the density and the mass of the sample. Once you have the mass, you can use the formula: volume = mass/density to calculate the volume of mercury.
Find the mass of a known volume of the liquid and use the formula mass/volume to find the density.
