Why Am I Getting Strange Results Measuring Sphere Densities?
The goal for me is to find the densities. I weighed the metal spheres first and then recorded the initial water volume. I dropped the sphere in and measured the current water level. I'm just curious whether the equation, Linear Mass Density = Mass/Liter, will give me the correct densities I...- rawr101

Why Am I Getting Strange Results Measuring Sphere Densities?
My question is regarding finding volume and densities of spheres. I'm getting strange results, so I thought I'd find out where my methods are incorrect. I am using a graduated cylinder to drop the spheres into with water inside. I measured the initial volume of the water before I dropped...- rawr101
