Measuring Density of Irregular Objects

This document summarizes an experiment measuring the density of various objects including stones, cubes of different materials, and irregularly shaped objects. Data was collected on the mass and volume of each object, which was then used to calculate density. For the stones, density was calculated indirectly by measuring the mass and estimating the volume displaced in water. For the cubes, density was calculated directly by measuring the mass, length of sides, and calculating the volume. The results found some variation in the direct and indirect density measurements, which the document suggests was likely due to human error in the measurements.

Does the result of measuring the density of
a cube have the same results of indirectly
one? explain your answer

It is because, measuring density of a cube is not acurate since


we made mistake like by adding a little bit of water or put a
little bit of water some of them from human error.

Why do you think the volume measurment


of a stone only have a direct result explain!

It is because its hard to measure the volume of the stone


directly because each stone has very different shapes and are
not fixed shape
Conclusion
Our data from
measuring isn't 100%
accurate some of
them are made from
error

Conclusion
It's most likely
inaccurate because we
saw the measurements
wrong or did some
steps incorrectly
Take a glass of water and a glass of cooking
oil with the same size of glass! Are they
having the same mass? why do you think so?

No they have different mass, normally if oil and water is


put together oil is at the top while water is at the
bottom. The reason that happens is beacuse the density
of oil is less then the density of water. The molecules
that make up the oil are larger then those who that
made up water, so they cannot pack as tight as water
