Calculate the average density of a substance by entering mass and volume measurements
Learn how to use the Average Density Calculator and understand density calculations
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.
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
Density measurements are used in many fields:
