Average Density Calculator

Calculate the average density of a substance by entering mass and volume measurements

Input Parameters

Calculation Results

Calculation Formula

Density = Mass / Volume

Where:
Mass - the mass of the substance (kg)
Volume - the volume of the substance (m³)
Density - the resulting density (kg/m³)

Average Density Calculator Usage Guide

Learn how to use the Average Density Calculator and understand density calculations

How to Use This Calculator

  1. Enter the mass of the substance in kilograms (kg) in the first input field.
  2. Enter the volume of the substance in cubic meters (m³) in the second input field.
  3. Click the "Calculate" button to compute the average density.
  4. The result will be displayed in kilograms per cubic meter (kg/m³).

Understanding Density

Density is a physical property of matter that represents the mass per unit volume of a substance. It is calculated using the formula:

Density = Mass ÷ Volume

This calculator helps you determine the average density of a material by dividing its mass by its volume. The standard unit for density is kilograms per cubic meter (kg/m³), but other units like grams per cubic centimeter (g/cm³) may also be used in some contexts.

Example Calculation

If you have a substance with a mass of 500 kg and a volume of 0.25 m³, the density would be:

Density = 500 kg ÷ 0.25 m³ = 2000 kg/m³

Applications of Density

Density measurements are used in many fields:

  • Material science for identifying substances
  • Engineering for material selection
  • Chemistry for solution concentration calculations
  • Geology for rock and mineral classification
  • Manufacturing for quality control
