You can't - not enough information. Basically you need to divide the mass by the 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.


What is the mass of a .5 in diameter glass marble?

I don't believe there is a way to find the mass of an object knowing only the diameter of the object. If you had the volume, or some other measurements sure. the best bet would be just to weigh it, or find the volume using the principles of displacement.


Is volume only for 3D shapes?

The volume of anything is always the area of the base of the object times the height. Therefore, to find the volume the object must have a height, which makes volume work with all 3D shapes. If one is looking at a 2D shape, then there is no height so a volume cannot be calculated (note: areas may be found of 2D shapes).


How do you find the ratio of an object?

You cannot. You can only find a ratio of two or more objects. Then, it can be the ratio of their size, volume, mass, monetary value, temperature - or any other characteristic that can be measured.


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 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.

Can only be measured in 3 dimensions?

Volume can only be measured in 3 dimensions. This formula is used to find the space in a sphere, cone, cube, cylinder, prism, or other such object.

What three measurements must you make when finding the density of a liquid?

density = mass / volume. so you need to weigh to find the mass. To find the volume submerse in water and record the displacement of water to find the volume.


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


If you have the volume of a rectangle how do you find out the measurement of each side?

A rectangle cannot have a volume. Only 3-dimensional objects (solids) can have volumes. A rectangle is a 2-dimensional object - or a plane figure.

Can you tell if an object will sink or float by measuring only its volume?

No.


Is there only one way to measure volume?

there are 2 ways that I know about: the first way is length x width x height. And the second way is the water displacement method by Archimedes.


What is the formula used to find the volume of cubical object?

width x height x depth If the object is truly a cube, then you only need one number ... the length of any edge of it. Cube that number (multiply 'S' times 'S' times 'S'), and you have the volume.


How do you find the volume of an object with only the mass known?

You can't. If I tell you there's an object here with a mass of 1 kilogram, you have no way to decide whether it's a bottle of water or a small roomful of air.
