    Part 2: I used a graduated cylinder on the tarred scale empty and then with both water and isopropyl alcohol to determine the mass of both and calculated their densities. Next, I measured the length, width, and height of a magnet to determine volume. I then used the water displacement method by filling a cylinder with water and then placing the magnet in and recording the difference in the water level to determine volume and density. Lastly, I used Archimedes’ method to by recording the mass of a metal bolt then placing it in water and observing the displacement. I then converted this to density of water and repeated with a magnet.…
