Apparatus for Measuring the Density of Solids
Product Code : JL-GLE-11272
The Apparatus for Measuring the Density of Solids, SKU JL-GLE-11272, supplied by JaincoLab, lets students find density from mass and volume. Bodies of the same shape and size but different materials, such as wood, plastic, bronze, aluminium, iron and lead, are weighed on the scales or spring scale and their volume is found by displacement in the 250 ml cylinder, so the class can compare densities directly. Equal-sized bodies with different masses show that density is a property of the material.
