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.
