There are two instruments used

1. The measuring cylinder.

2. The overflow can (Eureka can)
.
This method is called the displacement method because irreg-

ular object displaces the amount of water equal to its volume.

Density

Density is mass per unit volume. The density of an object is

found after knowing its mass and its volume. The formula for

finding density is;

Density (D) = Mass/Volume

This means that; Mass = Density x Volume, Volume =

Mass/Volume

The units for density are grams per cubic units [ g/cm ]
