In medicine, an anomalous urine density may indicate certain diseases, or an anomalous blood density, anemia. Among the most modern instruments for determining the density of liquids, the vibrating-tube densimeter is the most widely used, mainly in the petroleum industry.1 In this paper, we propose an experimental activity, which is appropriate for high school and first-year university physics students, in which the density of various liquids, such as saturated aqueous NaCl, tap water, soy oil, or 70% alcohol, is determined UR - https://doi.org/10.1119/5.0107397 ER -
