you devide the mass of the object by the volume
e.g. the mass of the block = 360g
the volume = 120cm3
to find the density you divide 360 by 120 which = 3
to find the volume of a block you times the height by the width by the lenth
eg 6 (L), 5(W), 4(H) = 6x5x4 = 120

∙ 12y agoAs density is mass / volume
we can rearrange this to give mass = density * volume
hence if you know the density of the material, and it's volume, you can calculate the mass.
The density will be in Kilograms per Metre cubed, and the volume in Metres cubed,
so the mass comes out in Kilograms.

How can we calculate the density of a irregular solid or a liquid?
You can dip the irregular solid in a water or other suitable liquid. This is how, you can measure the volume of the solid. The mass can be measured by weighing scale. Mass/volume = density. It is easy to measure the mass and volume of the liquid. First measure the mass the container. Then add the liquid to it. You will get the mass of the liquid. Then measure the volume of the liquid. Use the above formula to calculate the density of the liquid.
What measures do you use to calculate density and what is the formula?
well density measures how much an object is by its size and you calculate it by finding the mass then volume.Then you divide the two answers then whatever answer you get,you round it to the nearest tenths
What is the definition of a irregular object?
an object that has no symmetry
What physical properties are used to calculate the density of an object?
Mass and Volume are physical properties that can bed measured. By themselves, neither can bed used to identify unknown objects or substances. However, if you have measured the mass and the volume of an object, you can calculate its density.
What is the relationship between mass of a solid object and the volume?
There is no direct relationship between how much mass an object has and it's volume. That is, mass plays no part in calculating the volume, and volume plays not part in determining mass. However, they are related by the equation to calculate the density. Density=Mass/Volume.
How do you calculate volume for an irregular object?
Partition (or divide) the irregular object into summation of regular objects and then calculate the volume.
How would you calculate the volume of an irregular piece of rock?
[object Object]
How would you calculate the density of an irregular shaped object such as a cylinder or screw?
First you get the object mass by weighing it.Then you get its volume by immersing it in a scaled water container and see the increase in water volume which gives the object volume.Then you divide the mass by the volume to get the object density.
What happens to the mass of the water in an irregular object?
Nothing
How do you calculate the mass of an object?
the mass of an object measures the amount of matter in a object.
What is the formula to calculate the volume of irregular object?
water displacement
How do you calculate the volume of an i regular object?
To calculate the volume of an irregular object you will need a container with meaurements and water. Place the irregular object in your container and fill with water until the entire object is covered. Record volume A. Then remove the irregular object and record volume B. The volume of your irregulare object is equal to volume A minus volume B.
What technique used to calculate the volume of an irregular object?
Water displacement
How do you calculate the density of an irregular object?
Determine its mass using a balance and determine its volume using water displacement. Then divide the mass by the volume to get density. Refer to the related link below for more detail.
What did Archimedes find?
He discovered the method to calculate the volume of a irregular object (rock).
How do you calculate a small irregular object like a nut or bolt?
By using a micrometer
How would you calculate the density if the object is cube?
The shape of an object is not enough to calculate its density. You also need its mass and then Density = Mass/Volume.
