Engineering Fundamentals: Density, Mass, and Volume Formulas
Density (ρ)
Formula
ρ = m / V
Represents how tightly matter is packed.
Mass (m)
Formula
m = ρ × V
The fundamental property of a body.
Volume (V)
Formula
V = m / ρ
The amount of space a substance occupies.
Density of Common Materials (Reference)
