This lab consisted of finding the density of 5 objects. The first object was the aluminum cube. You have to find the mass of the cube by using the laboratory balance. Place the cube on the balance and adjust the dial till the white line balances with the other white line at the end. After you find the mass of the cube you then have to find the volume of the cube. Take the ruler and find the length of one of the cube’s side and cube the length. This will give you the volume. Now you can find the density by taking the mass and dividing it by the volume. The next object was an aluminum bar. Place the aluminum bar on the balance and weigh it. This will give you the mass of the bar. Now find the volume by taking a ruler and measuring the length, width, and height. After you get these numbers multiply them to receive the volume of the aluminum bar. Take the mass and divide it by the volume of the bar to receive the density. The glass sphere was the next object. Take the glass sphere and place it on the balance and weight it. Once you find out the mass
