To find the density of granules such as lead shots using the density bottle

1.Find the mass of empty dry density bottle mo
2.Put some granules and find the mass m1 =( mass of empty bottle + mass of granules)
3.Pour water in the bottle until it is full and find mass m2 = ( mass of bottle + mass of granules + mass of
water on top of granules)
4.Find the mass of bottle filled with water only m3 =( mass of bottle + mass of water)

The mass of sand = (m1-m0) g
Mass of water above the sand = (m2-m1) g
Mass of water filling the bottle = (m3-m0) g
Since density of water is 1g/cm³

Volume of sand = [(m1+m3)-(mo+m2)]/1g/cm³
= [(m1+m3)-(mo+m2)] cm³
Density=mass/volume

Therefore,the density of the granules=m1-m0/{(m1+m3)-(m0+m2)}
