You can find the mass of an object by weighing it in a known gravity field, and then converting between Newtons and KiloGrams. On the Earth, the "normal" gravity field is 9.81 m/s2, and it is common to express mass and weight as the same thing although, technically, it is not.

In a zero-g environment, such as in space orbit, you can determine mass by suspending the object between two calibrated springs and bouncing them. You would measure the displacement and period of oscillation, and you would need to know the force of the springs as a function of displacement.

How do you find the mass of an object when you are given the volume and density of the object?

You can find the mass of the object by multiplying volume and density.


What is the center of the mass of an object?

the center mass of an object is in the center of such objects. you can find it by spining the object. :)


What do you need to find an object's density?

You need the object's volume and the object's mass to find the object's density. Then, you divide the object's mass by it's volume. The formula for density is d = density m = mass v = volume

How do find the density of an object?

You have to find out its mass, and its volume. Then you divide its mass by its volume.


Is it easier to find the mass of an object with a large mass or smaller mass?

Large mass


How can you find the mass of an object if the volume is known but not the density?

Without knowing either the mass of an object or its density, it would be impossible to find the mass. There would be two variables and only one equation. Thus, one cannot find the mass of an object solely from its volume.


How can you find momentum?

Mass of the object times the velocity o the object.


How do you solve for the density of an object?

You find the volume of the object, and then divide it by the mass.


How do you figure out density?

To find the density of an object, you have to divide the mass of the object by the volume of the object.
