Formula & explanation
ρ = mass/volume

Variables & units

Mass
kg · minimum 0, maximum 1000000000000
Volume
m³ · minimum 0.000001, maximum 1000000000000

Worked example

10 kg occupying 2 m³ has density 5 kg/m³.

Assumptions

Use consistent mass and volume units. Bulk density differs from intrinsic material density.

Formula version 1.0.0. JavaScript floating-point arithmetic applies. Results display up to 6 decimal places; stored values retain available precision. Use the units shown.
