Question

The density of irregular solids can be measured using ________ (conical flask /Eureka can).

Answer 1

1. Density is the amount of mass contained in a unit volume.
2. Density of irregular solids can be measured using Eureka can.
3. Eureka can is a container with a spout positioned near the top.
4. This can is filled to the top with water and then a solid object can be immersed in it.
5. When the solid is immersed in the water, it displaces some water.
6. This water flows out of the spout giving the volume of the object.
7. If the mass is known density can be found by using the formula,

Density =$\frac{mass}{volume}$

Hence, The density of irregular solids can be measured using Eureka can.
