2. The definition of mass

The mass of an object is the quantity(amount) of matter it is made of.

3. The definition of density

Density is the mass per unit volume for a substance.
Density is the ratio of mass to volume for a substance.

4. Displacement（排水法）
 Select a measuring cylinder that is 3 or 4 times larger than the object. Partially fill it with water, enough to cover the
object. Note the volume of the water.
 Immerse(浸没) the object in the water. The level of water in the cylinder will increase. The increase in its volume is
equal to the volume of the object.
