Introduction: The purpose of this experiment is for students to learn how to calculate the
density of an object (in this case two metals) using the mass and volume. What we also want to
figure out is how to get the density of a liquid is by using its volume and mass. Once we have
both volume and mass we can figure out what the specific gravity and density are for that liquid.
Figuring out what density of a solid is can be very useful because it can help us identify what
kind of metal we have and it helps us in knowing how dense a specific liquid is.
