Enter the total mass (kg) and the total volume (m^3) into the Density From Mass Calculator. The calculator will evaluate and display the Density From Mass. 

Density From Mass Formula

The following formula is used to calculate the Density From Mass. 

D = TM / TV
  • Where D is the Density From Mass (kg/m^3)
  • TM is the total mass (kg) 
  • TV is the total volume (m^3) 

To calculate density from mass, divide the mass by the volume.

How to Calculate Density From Mass?

The following example problems outline how to calculate Density From Mass.

Example Problem #1:

  1. First, determine the total mass (kg).
    1. The total mass (kg) is given as: 20.
  2. Next, determine the total volume (m^3).
    1. The total volume (m^3) is provided as: 30.
  3. Finally, calculate the Density From Mass using the equation above: 

D = TM / TV

The values given above are inserted into the equation below:

D = 20 / 30 = .666 (kg/m^3)


FAQ

What units are used in the Density From Mass calculation?

The units used in the Density From Mass calculation are kilograms (kg) for mass and cubic meters (m^3) for volume. The resulting density is expressed in kilograms per cubic meter (kg/m^3).

Can the Density From Mass formula be used for any type of material?

Yes, the Density From Mass formula can be applied to any material, as long as you have the total mass and total volume of the material in question. It is a universal formula for calculating density.

How does temperature affect the density calculated from mass?

Temperature can significantly affect the density of a material, as it may cause the material to expand or contract, thereby changing its volume. As density is a function of mass and volume, any change in volume due to temperature changes will affect the density. It is important to consider the temperature at which the mass and volume measurements are taken for accurate density calculations.
