Weight Per Volume Formula
The following formula is used to calculate the Weight Per Volume.
WPV = m * 9.81 / V
- Where WPV is the Weight Per Volume (N/m^3)
- m is the total mass (kg)
- V is the total volume (m^3)
How to Calculate Weight Per Volume?
The following example problems outline how to calculate Weight Per Volume.
Example Problem #1:
- First, determine the total mass (kg).
- The total mass (kg) is given as: 30.
- Next, determine the total volume (m^3).
- The total volume (m^3) is provided as: 15.
- Finally, calculate the Weight Per Volume using the equation above:
WPV = m * 9.81 / V
The values given above are inserted into the equation below:
WPV = 30 * 9.81 / 15 = 19.62 (N/m^3)
Example Problem #2:
The variables needed for this problem are provided below:
total mass (kg) = 6
total volume (m^3) = 2
Entering these values and solving gives:
WPV = 6* 9.81 / 2 = 29.43 (N/m^3)
