In order to improve students'intelligent instrument design level and practical ability,a solid density measuring instrument for teaching demonstration is designed in this project.Firstly,the weight of solids in the bas-ket in air and submerged water is measured by a pressure sensor.Then,the buoyancy is calculated by comparing the difference between the two,and the density of the solid is calculated by the Archimedes formula.The experi-mental results show that the average aluminum density of the test sample is 2627.8kg/m3 and the average relative error is 3.57%.The measuring accuracy of the solid density measuring instrument meets the design requirements and can be used as an example of intelligent instrument course design in teaching.
