To measure the mass of the irregular stone, you would use a scale or balance. Place the stone on the scale and record the weight displayed. This will give you the mass of the stone in grams or kilograms.
To measure the volume of the irregular stone, you can use the displacement method. Fill a container with water up to a certain level and record the initial volume of water. Then carefully submerge the stone into the water, making sure no water spills out. The increase in water level after submerging the stone is equal to the volume of the stone. Measure this increase in volume and record it.
Once you have measured both the mass and volume of the irregular stone, you can calculate its density by dividing the mass by the volume. Density is a measure of how much mass is contained in a given volume, and can be useful in identifying the type of material the stone is made of.

Measuring Mass:
1. Use a digital scale: Place the stone on the platform of a digital scale and read the mass directly from the display in grams or kilograms.
Measuring Volume:
Water Displacement Method:
1. Fill a graduated cylinder or beaker with water: Record the initial water level.
2. Submerge the stone completely: Gently place the stone in the water, ensuring no air bubbles are trapped inside. Record the new water level.
3. Calculate the volume: Subtract the initial water level from the final water level to obtain the volume of water displaced by the stone. This volume is equal to the volume of the stone.
Alternative Methods:
- Hydrostatic Weighing: Suspend the stone from a force sensor submerged in water. The weight difference in air and water is equal to the buoyant force, which can be used to calculate volume.
- Geometric Measurements: If the stone has a regular shape (e.g., cube, sphere), measure its dimensions and use geometric formulas to calculate its volume.
- 3D Scanning: Use a 3D scanner to create a digital model of the stone, which can then be used to calculate its volume through software analysis.
