Density Formula

Density is a measure of mass per unit volume. It is a fundamental property of matter that helps identify substances and predict their behavior.

Formula:
ρ = m/V

Where:

  • ρ (rho) = Density (kg/m³)
  • m = Mass (kg)
  • V = Volume (m³)
Steps

How to Calculate

To calculate density, follow these steps:

  1. 1
    Measure the mass of the object in kilograms (kg)
  2. 2
    Measure the volume of the object in cubic meters (m³)
  3. 3
    Divide the mass by the volume to get the density
