Mass Formula:
From: | To: |
The mass formula (m = ρ × V) calculates the mass of an object from its density and volume. This fundamental physics equation relates these three important physical properties.
The calculator uses the mass formula:
Where:
Explanation: The formula shows that mass is directly proportional to both density and volume of a substance.
Details: Calculating mass from density and volume is essential in physics, engineering, chemistry, and many practical applications like material science and construction.
Tips: Enter density in kg/m³ and volume in m³. Both values must be positive numbers. The result will be the mass in kilograms.
Q1: What if my density is in g/cm³?
A: Convert to kg/m³ by multiplying by 1000 (1 g/cm³ = 1000 kg/m³).
Q2: What if my volume is in liters?
A: Convert to m³ by dividing by 1000 (1 liter = 0.001 m³).
Q3: Does this work for all materials?
A: Yes, as long as you have accurate density values for homogeneous materials.
Q4: What about irregularly shaped objects?
A: You would need to measure volume through displacement or other methods first.
Q5: How accurate is this calculation?
A: It's mathematically precise, but accuracy depends on your density and volume measurements.
