A student wishes to determine the density of a small, irregularly shaped brass bolt.
With the aid of a labelled diagram, describe an experiment to determine the volume of the bolt.
Name the piece of equipment that must be used to measure the mass of the bolt.
State the formula that is used to calculate the density of the bolt, and define the symbols used.
The student now wishes to determine the volume of a cork stopper that floats in water. The student has a heavy metal sinker which, when attached to the cork, makes both sink in water.
Describe how the student can adapt the experiment in (a) to determine the volume of the cork stopper.
