Assume that after you made your measurements, you realized that your solid rod had a nick in the side and a portion was missing. When comparing the density that would be calculated using the ruler method with the result of the displacement method of the rod, would the calculated density for the ruler method be higher, lower or the same as the water displacement density? Explain.

2)  Water displacement is useful for determining the volume of insoluble samples.  In field work, the density of a mineral-containing rock can be used to identify the mineral.    Look up the densities for both gold and iron pyrite (aka fools gold).  Which will displace more water a 5.0 g gold nugget or a 5.0 g sample of fools gold?  Explain.
