Density Calculator

Calculate density, mass, or volume using the formula ρ = m/V. Includes a reference table of common material densities.

Inputs

oz
cm³
g/cm³

Results

Density

2 g/cm³

Mass100 g
Volume50 cm³
Formula Usedρ = m / V
How to Use This Calculator
  1. Select the variable to solve for: density, mass, or volume.
  2. Enter the two known values in their respective units.
  3. Review the calculated result and the formula used (density = mass / volume).
  4. Common densities: water = 1.0 g/cm3, aluminum = 2.7 g/cm3, steel = 7.8 g/cm3.
  5. Use to identify materials by density or calculate mass from volume for ordering materials.

How the result changes with Volume

How this is calculated

Worked example, using the default values

  1. Identify Input Parameters
    4 parameters
    Solve For = 0, Mass = 100, Volume = 50, Density = 1 = 4 input(s) provided
  2. Calculate Density
    Density = calcDensity
    2 = 2
  3. Calculate Mass
    Mass = calcMass
    100 = 100
  4. Calculate Volume
    Volume = calcVolume
    50 = 50
