A group of science students wish to determine the density of two small objects, A and B.

A is a regular-shaped cylinder made of brass, and B is an irregular-shaped piece of granite.

On the left is Object A, a smooth, regular cylinder standing vertically. On the right is Object B, an irregular, bumpy rock-like object.

Describe the experimental methods that the students should use to determine the density of the brass cylinder and the irregular granite stone.

In your answer you should include:

  • The equipment and mathematical equations they would use.
  • How they would ensure their measurements and final density calculation are both accurate and precise.
