Density Calculator

📐 Physics of Matter. Use the Density formula to find density ρ, mass, volume: pick the value you want, type the others, and the answer updates as you go.

ρ=mV\rho = \dfrac{m}{V}
Density ρ1 g/mL

Pick the ○ next to the value you want to find, fill in the others, and it solves as you type.

Worked example

Find the density ρ when Mass = 100 g, Volume = 100 mL.

Using ρ = m/V: Density ρ = 1 g/mL.

Frequently asked questions

What is the formula for Density?

ρ = m/V.

What do the letters stand for, and what units are used?

Density ρ in g/mL, Mass in g, Volume in mL.

How do you calculate density ρ?

Put the values into ρ = m/V. For example, with Mass = 100 g, Volume = 100 mL, density ρ = 1 g/mL.

Can I solve for a different value?

Yes. In the calculator above, pick the circle next to any value (density ρ, mass, volume) and fill in the others: it rearranges the formula for you.
