The objective of experiment is to determine the density of fluids which is water against

oil.Based on the procedure,the apparatus are prepared to get the following data that are
acquired.
In the experiment,we use 1000ml cylinder with empty graduated mass 0.6 kg and the
volume of the 1000ml cylinder is 1000 m.The mass cylinder is filled with water that
1.588 kg,so the water mass is 0.988 kg.This make the density of water is about
988kg/m approximately 1000kg/m (based on standard).
For the oil,we also filled with 1000ml with empty graduated mass 0.6 kg and the volume
of the 1000ml cylinder is 1000 m.The mass cylinder is filled with oil is 1.508 kg,so the
water mass is 0.908 kg. This make the density of water is about 908kg/m.

From the experiment we can see the different density between water and oil.The water
has 988kg/m approximately 1000kg/m (based on standard) while the oil has
908kg/m.The density of oil is less than water.Since the density of water 1 g/ml,the
density of oil are smaller and makes the oil float on water.In order to float the object
must have a less dense density from the surrounding liquid.
