Archimedes' principle can be used to calculate the density of a fluid as well as that of a solid.

(b) What is the volume of iron, using its density as given Table 14.1? (c) Calculate the fluid's density and identify it.
How would you determine the density of an irregularly shaped rock?
You can chew through very tough objects with your incisors because they exert a large force on the small area of a pointed tooth. What pressure in pascals can you create by exerting a force of 500 N with your tooth on an area of 1.00 mm2?
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 of a 240-g rock 89.0 cm3 of water? (Note that the accuracy and practical applications of this technique are more limited than a variety of others that are based on Archimedes' principle.)
