Understanding Mass Calculation

Mass Formula

The mass (m) of an object is calculated by multiplying its density (ρ) by its volume (V):

m = ρ × V

Where:

  • m is the mass of the object
  • ρ (rho) is the density of the material
  • V is the volume the object occupies

This formula is fundamental in physics, chemistry, and engineering for determining the mass of objects when their density and volume are known.

Common Material Densities

Material Density (g/cm³) Mass of 100 cm³
Gold 19.32 1,932 g
Lead 11.34 1,134 g
Iron 7.87 787 g
Aluminum 2.70 270 g
Water (4°C) 1.00 100 g
Pine Wood 0.50 50 g
Air (20°C) 0.0012 0.12 g

Density determines the mass of a given volume. Materials with higher density have more mass in the same volume.
