Caution:
Handle with care as metal blocks may cause injury if mishandled or dropped. Keep away from small children and pets.
Specific Gravity Block With Hook
DOWNLOAD SPECIFICATIONSThe Specific Gravity Block with Hook is a 32 mm metal cube used for demonstrating density and buoyancy in educational and laboratory settings. Each cube is made from a different metal—Iron, Zinc, Aluminum, Copper, Brass, or Lead—to show the unique density of each material. The cube comes with a brass hook attached by a threaded connection and measuring about 26 mm in length, making it easy to suspend the cube for testing.

| 3520-06 | Zinc | 32 x 32 x 32 | -0- | -0- | -0- | Brass, ~26 mm length, threaded |
| 3520-01 | Aluminum | 32 x 32 x 32 | ~83.5 g | ~86.5 g | ~2.6 | Brass, ~26 mm length, threaded |
| 3520-05 | Copper | 32 x 32 x 32 | ~279 g | ~282.1 g | ~8.5 | Brass, ~26 mm length, threaded |
| 3520-02 | Brass | 32 x 32 x 32 | ~265 g | ~268 g | ~8.1 | Brass, ~26 mm length, threaded |
| 3520-04 | Lead | 32 x 32 x 32 | ~362.8 g | ~365.8 g | ~11.1 | Brass, ~26 mm length, threaded |
Applications and Benefits:
- Ideal for physics and science classroom demonstrations.
- Used in density and buoyancy experiments.
- Provides hands-on learning for mass and volume calculations.
- Demonstrates material properties through direct comparison.
- Includes a brass hook for easy suspension and measurement.
Caution:
Handle with care, as metal blocks can be heavy and may cause injury if dropped. The lead block should be handled with caution due to its toxicity; wash hands after handling and avoid ingestion or prolonged exposure.
Note: Cube weight is estimated using the formula: Weight ≈ (Density in g/cm³) × (Volume in cm³), where 32 mm = 3.2 cm and Volume ≈ 3.2³ ≈ 32.77 cm³. Actual weight may vary slightly.
