This study aims to describe the concepts of mass and volume while estimating the relationship between them. Through measurements of experimental items, such as a cylindrical object and a rectangular cube, we calculate their masses and volumes to determine their experimental densities. A paired t-test is employed to compare the experimental densities with accepted values. The results indicate that there is no significant difference between the two, confirming the foundational formula of density: Density = Mass / Volume.

Purpose • To describe mass and volume for each experimental item. • To estimate the relationship between mass and volume. • To compare experimental and accepted density values.
Methods • Measure the mass of the right cylinder and the rectangle cube • Measure to find the radius of the cylinder and its height to find its volume • Measure to find the length, width, and height of the rectangle cube to find its volume • Divide the mass of each object by its volume to find the experimental density
Measurements Volume = Length * Width * Height
Hypothesis • Null Hypothesis: Experimental & Accepted Densities are same. • Alternative Hypothesis: Experimental & Accepted Densities are different.
Paired t-test P-value > 0.05. So, failed to reject null hypothesis.
Conclusion Since we failed to reject null hypothesis, the experimental density supports the accepted density. Thus, we confirm the formula, Density = Mass / Volume.
