Density Calculations for Various Materials

This document provides examples of calculating density from measurements of mass and volume. It asks the reader to calculate densities of various objects like minerals, sugar cubes, bricks of salt and lead. It also asks which of two liquids with given densities would float on top of the other when poured together. Finally, it asks which of two erasers with the same mass but different volumes would have a higher density.
