INTRODUCTION
Fluid is a substance that is changes continuously depends to the
forced exerted into it. Fluid can be classified into two categories,
liquid and gas. Each fluid has their own physical properties. The
application of the fluid can be recognized or treasured by knowing the
physical properties of the fluid.
The mass per unit volume is defined as density. The unit used is
kg/m3. The measurement is simple in the case of solids and liquids.

Density of substance,

The ratio of the density of the fluid to the density of water. Usually
1000 kg/m3 at a standard condition is defined as Specific Gravity
or Relative Gravity of fluids. This is a ratio and hence no
dimension or unit is involved.

Determine the density of substance.

EXPERIMENT 1 (a) : TO DETERMINE THE FLUID DENSITY

BY USING THE MEASUREMENT CYLINDER
APPARATUS
a) Measurement cylinder
b) Electronic Balance
c) Oil and water

Procedures :
1. First measure the weight of empty measurement cylinder.
2. Fill the measurement cylinder with 100 ml of water.
3. Reweight the measurement cylinder that fill with water and
remark the mass.
4. Calculate the density of the water using the density equation.
5. Repeat the experiment by using oil.
