Describe an experiment to determine the density of the material of a coin.
Answer
View full question & answer→Density $=$ Mass $/$ volume
To find the density of the material of a coin, we need to find its
$1.$ mass$-$by common beam balance and
$2.$ Its volume by measuring cylinder.
Measure the mass of coin.
EXPERIMENT $-$ Let the mass of coin shown by beam balance $=M\ ($gram$)\ =50 g\ ($ray$)$
Measure the vol. of the coin.
Initial volume of water $= V _1=40\ ml\ ($say$)$
Final volume of water
When coin is added in the cylinder $= V _2=50\ ml\ ($say$)$
Then vol. of coin $= V _2- V _1=50-40=10\ ml$
Density of material of coin $=D=\frac{M}{V}=\frac{50}{52-42}=\frac{50}{10}$
$=5\ g /cm^-3$
