Question

What is Eureka can? How would you use it to determine the density of an irregular solid?

Answer 1

1. A Eureka can is a container to hold object with a spout at the top of it
2. Eureka can is used to determine the volume of irregular solid
3. Density is defined as $\frac{mass}{Volume}$

Steps to determine the density of an irregular solid using Eureka can:

1. Beam balance is used to measure the irregular solid's mass
2. Once the irregular solid is dropped into Eureka can, the volume of water flows from the Eureka can be measured using a measuring beaker through pipe-like structure
