ρ = m/V

Density from mass and volume

Density is mass per volume and affects weight, buoyancy and inertia.

MINTSI

Calculation

ρ = m / V

Density is mass per volume and affects weight, buoyancy and inertia.

Understand the inputs
  • Density ρMass per cubic metre at a defined temperature.
  • Mass mMeasured or known mass.
  • Volume VGeometric or displaced volume.
Example

7.85 kg / 0.001 m³ = 7,850 kg/m³ (steel-like value).

Assumptions and limits

Homogeneous material at constant temperature.
