A straightforward method of finding the density of an object is to measure its mass and then measure its volume by submerging it in a graduated cylinder. What is the density (in g/cm3) of a 260 g rock that displaces 83.0 cm3 of water?

Given:
Mass = 260 g
Volume = 83.0 cm^3
Density formula = m/v
Solution:
Substitute the given values of the mass and the volume to the formula of density.
d = 260 g/ 83.0 cm^3
d =3.13 g/cm^3
The density of a 260 g rock that displaces 83.0 cm3 in water is 3.13 g/cm^3.
