ρ | Density | Mass per volume |
m | Mass | Mass |
V | Volume | Volume |
Checked examples
Find density
Inputs: Mass 20, volume 5
Calculation: ρ = 20 ÷ 5
Result: 4 mass units per volume unit
Each unit of volume contains four mass units.
Check: density-mass-volume.test.ts
Find volume
Inputs: Mass 24, density 3
Calculation: V = 24 ÷ 3
Result: 8 volume units
The result uses the volume unit implied by the inputs.
Check: density-mass-volume.test.ts
Assumptions, rounding, and limits
- Inputs are positive.
- Mass, volume, and density units are mutually compatible.
- The material is treated as uniform.
- Temperature and pressure effects are not modeled.
Frequently asked questions
Can I mix grams and cubic metres?
Only if the density unit is compatible; convert values to one coherent unit system first.
Does the result identify a material?
No. It only solves the mathematical relationship and does not confirm composition.
Why can density change?
Many materials expand or compress with temperature or pressure, which changes density.
