Calculating density

  • Density can be calculated using the formula:
    • ρ = mV\frac{m}{V}
      • ρ (Rho) is the density of the material.
      • m is the mass of the object.
      • V is the volume of the object.

Units of density

  • Density will be measured in a unit which specifies mass divided by volume:
    • The most common is kgm-3 (kilograms per cubic metre).
