The image above represents density. To calculate the density, two essential parameters are needed and these parameters are mass (m) and volume (v).

The formula for calculating density:

Density = ^mass / _volume

Let’s solve an example;
Given that the volume is 20 m³ with a mass of 240 kg. Find the density.

This implies that;
Volume = 20
Mass = 240

So, Density = ^mass / _volume
Density = ²⁴⁰ / ₂₀
Density = 12

Therefore, the density is 12 Kg/m³.

Calculating the Mass when the Density and Volume are Given

Mass = Volume x Density

Let’s solve an example;
With a density of 90 kg/m³ and a volume of 15 m³, Find the mass.

This implies that;
Density = 90
Volume = 15

That is, Mass = Volume x Density
Mass = 15 x 90
Mass = 1350

Therefore, the mass is 1350 kg.

Calculating the Volume when Mass and Density are Given

Volume = ^mass / _density

Let’s solve an example;
Find the volume with a mass of 50 kg and a density of 70 kg/m³?

This implies that;
Density = 70
Mass = 50

So, Volume = ^mass / _density
Volume = ⁵⁰ / ₇₀
Volume = 0.714

Therefore, the volume is 0.714 m³.
