Density is the measurement of the amount of mass per unit of volume. The formula for density is. Say you have a whopper diamond with a volume of 00500 cubic meters thats a cube thats about 1 foot on each side so its truly a whopper.
As long as two of the variables are known the third can be calculated by rearranging the equation.
Density of a Solid. In order to calculate density you need to know the mass and volume of the item. Now density is an equation and its equal to the ratio of mass per unit volume. Also known as specific mass of a substance is its mass per unit volume.
