Determining the volume and density of solids

Determining the volume and density of solids

P1.1.2.1

To determine the density of solid bodies, a weighting is combined with a volume measurement. The volumes of the bodies are determined from the volumes of liquid which they displace from an overflow vessel. In the experiment P1.1.2.1, this principle is tested using regular bodies for which the volumes can be easily calculated from their linear dimensions.
