You cannot calculate volume and density with only the mass.
If the exact material forming the mass is known, then density can be looked up from a variety of sources and the volume can be calculated as mass divided by density.
For example, given only the mass "10 kg" we have no way of knowing the volume or density. However, given "10 kg of gold" we can look up the density (19.3 grams per cubic centimeter) and divide 10,000 by 19.3 to get a volume of 518.13 cc.

How can you calculate the volume of an object with only the knowledge of the density?
You cannot calculate the volume of an object using only the density; you must also calculate the mass.You can calculate the mass by simply weighing the object.Density = Mass / VolumeTherefore Volume = Mass/Density.If you cannot be bothered to calculate the mass, simply measure the object. Multiply the length, times the width, times the height and you have the volume.
How do you calculate density when given mass?
If you only know mass, you don't have enough information to calculate density.You also need to know the volume of the piece that has that mass.Once you have both of those numbers, the density is(Mass) divided by (Volume)of the same sample.
How do you figure out the mass and volume of something using its density?
Density doesn't tell you the mass or the volume. It only tells you what answer you'll get if you divide the mass by the volume. But whether you have a tiny speck of the substance or a super tanker full of it, the density will be the same.
How do you find the density with only mass?
You can't. There are two measurements needed: MASS and Volume
How do you find the volume if only the mass is shown?
You can't. Volume is the space occupied by a substance or object. To find the volume from the mass, the density would have to be known. Density = Mass / Volume If you want to find any of the three, you need the other two.
How do you calculate the volume of an object when you are given only the mass and the density?
density=mass/volume volume=mass/density
How do you find DENSITY If only mass and volume is given?
You can't. In order to calculate a density, you need a mass and a volume.

How do you find density from grams?
This question, as stated, cannot be answered because there is no volume provided. Density is mass divided by volume. The question only provided mass.
What is the volume of graphite?
The volume of graphite is dependent on its mass and density. You can calculate it only if you know the sample's mass and density. The same goes for any other substance or object.
How do you calculate density when given mass?
If you only know mass, you don't have enough information to calculate density.You also need to know the volume of the piece that has that mass.Once you have both of those numbers, the density is(Mass) divided by (Volume)of the same sample.
How can I find the mass if only the volume and density are given?
Density = (mass) divided by (volume)Mass = (Density) times (volume)
How to calculate mass of water from density?
You have to use the density equation... D = M / V D= density M= mass V= volume You have to find the volume of your water. Since you know your density the only thing left to find out is the mass. Just solve for it by multiplying the volume times the density.
How do you calculate the volume of a paralelipiped if you only have height and density?
You cannot. You need to know the mass as well.
How do you find mass when given the density?
Density depends on mass and volume. If you know any two of the three quantities, you can calculate the missing one. If you only know the density, you can't find the mass of a sample until you first measure its volume. Density at times is posted at lb/gal. Multiply the density by the volume in gallons to give you mass.
What is the formula to determine volume using mass?
Knowing the mass doesn't tell you the volume. They're related by the quantity called the "density" of a sample. So if, along with the mass, you also know the density, then the volume is (mass) divided by (density). But if you only know the mass, there's no way to calculate the volume. Equal masses of air and water have very different volumes.
What is the formula to find mass with only the density and volume?
Density rho = mass m / volume V. rho = m / V. Formula: Density equals mass divided by volume.
