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.
