Formula to calculate density of an irregular shaped solid

Dear Student,
Density of an irregular shaped solid can be obtained by finding its mass in air and then in water.
If, mo is the mass of the solid in airand mw is the mass of the solid in waterThen,mo=ρVwhere, ρ is the denisty of the solid and V is the volume of the solidmw=ρ-ρwVwhere, ρw is the density of watermomw=ρρ-ρwmoρ-ρw=mwρmoρ-mwρ=moρwρ=moρwmo-mw
