DOWNLOAD SPECIFICATIONS
The 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.

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.
