How can density be determined?
Density is obtained by dividing mass by volume. . Mass can be measured with scales or balances, and is expressed in grams or kilograms. By convention, the volume of liquids and gases is often expressed in units of liters or milliliters, measured with glassware.
What is the density of the material of the stone?
Densities of selected solids.
Solid | Density (10³ kg/m³) |
---|---|
Starch | 1.5 |
Steatite | 2.6 – 2.7 |
Steel | 7.82 |
Stone | 2.3 – 2.8 |
How do you measure a piece of stone?
Subtract the first volume from the second volume to calculate the volume of the stone. For example, if you recorded 40 fluid ounces the first time, and 50 fluid ounces the second time, the stone volume is 10 fluid ounces.
How do you find the volume of a piece of stone?
Stone volume can be estimated using an ellipsoid formula, as recommended by the European Association of Urology, (stone volume = π*l*w*d*0.167), where length (l), width (w), and depth (d) are stone diameter measured in three axes 8.
Can density be determined from a single measurement?
Density is not something that is directly measured. Typically if you want to know the density of something you will weigh it and then measure its volume.
What is the density of stone aggregate?
Most aggregates have a relative density between 2.4-2.9 with a corresponding particle density (Mass) of 2400-2900 kg / m3 (150-181 lb / ft3).
What is the densest stone?
Two of the heaviest or densest rocks are peridotite or gabbro. They each have a density of between 3.0 to 3.4 grams per cubic centimeter. Interestingly, peridotite are the rocks that naturally occurring diamonds are found in.
How can you measure density of a piece of stone with a measuring cylinder and spring balance?
Procedure
- Tie a metal bob (or any solid) with the string of cotton to the hook of the spring balance.
- Hold the spring balance (or tie it to the stand), suspended with the metal bob in air.
- Pour the water in the measuring cylinder and record the initial volume of water, let it be ‘ V1’
How can you measure density of a piece of stone with a spring balance?
How can you measure density of a piece of stone with a measuring cylinder and spring balance? Mass of the irregular shaped body (stone) is determined by the spring balance and volume is measured by a measuring cylinder. From equation (i), the density of the body can be determined.
What is the volume of a stone?
How do you find the volume of a stone?
Using the density formula the volume of the stone is 50 cm^3. The formula for finding the density of the stone is density = mass / volume.
How do you find the density of a boulder?
You collect a boulder and take it back to the lab, where you weigh it and find its mass to be 1000 g. You then determine the volume is 400 cm 3. What is your boulder’s density? Density is mass divided by volume, In this case the mass is 1000g and the volume is 400 cm 3, so you divide 1000g by 400 cm 3 to get 2.5 g/cm 3 .
What is the amount of water displaced by the stone?
The amount of water displaced by the stone has a mass of 50 g. Using the density formula the volume of the stone is 50 cm^3. The formula for finding the density of the stone is density = mass / volume.
What is particle density of stone?
Particle density is the molecular structure of the stone which determines how good the particles inside the stone are packed. Most aggregate particle have voids or pores which are filled with water or air. These voids or pores influence the particle density.
