A clear guide to measuring density with practical instruments

This section from Lessons in Elementary Practical Physics teaches how to determine density using a range of methods. It covers harmonically graduated densimeters, special hydrometers, and techniques for solids and liquids in small quantities. Readers will see how to read scales, correct for density and temperature, and apply different approaches in real laboratory work.

Learn how to design and read densimeters, including harmonical and practical graduation ideas.
Explore Wilson’s specific gravity sails, Jolly’s balance, and direct volume observations.
Compare methods for liquids with high density and for solids in small samples.
Understand how to handle alcohol meters, salinometers, and other technical hydrometers.

Ideal for students who want hands‑on methods for density determination, from simple observations to more advanced instruments, with guidance that fits a school laboratory setting.
