Abstract

Measuring the density of a solid is a basic laboratory task for Introductory Physics courses that can be quite enriched by using some variety of samples. On one hand, probing the intensive character of the quantity, on the other hand ---and with more interest from the experimental methods point of view--- allowing to elucidate how the methods of measuremnets can be conditioned by the shape and nature of the samples and the measured values of the quantity.
