Density is calculated by dividing the mass of an object by its volume. The formula for density is:
Density(ρ)=Mass(m)Volume(V)\text{Density}(ρ)=\frac{\text{Mass}(m)}{\text{Volume}(V)}Density(ρ)=Volume(V)Mass(m)
Where:
- ρρρ is the density,
- mmm is the mass,
- VVV is the volume.
This means you need to measure or know the mass of the object and its volume, then divide the mass by the volume to find the density. The units used for mass and volume must be compatible to get an accurate density measurement, such as grams and cubic centimeters (g/cm³) or kilograms and cubic meters (kg/m³).
