Divide its mass by its volume.
a gold sphere
how do you find the mass of a sphere Volume x density => 4/3(pi)(r)3 x density
Measure the diameter and from that calculate the volume, then determine the mass of the sphere on a weighing device. Then it's just density = mass/volume ========================== It again depends on the sphere whether its hollow or its a solid sphere
The mass of a sphere is 4/3*pi*r3*d where r is the radius of the sphere and d is the density of the material of the sphere.
mass over volume
The density of lead is well known; you can look it up in any reference book on chemistry, or on the Internet. It is 11.34 grams per cubic centimeter, according to Wikipedia. But if you have a sphere that is only part lead, you can get the density of the sphere by weighing it, and dividing the weight by its volume. The volume of a sphere is 4/3 x pi x r ^ 3, where r is the radius of the sphere.
Density = Mass/Volume, whatever the shape. So, if the masses are the same, the density is greater when the volume id smaller. Thus the sphere, with the smaller volume has the greater density.
Density = mass / volume. You have the density of aluminum and the mass of the aluminum sphere. The volume of a sphere is 4/3*Pi*r^3. Therefore volume = 4/3*Pi*r^3 = mass / density. Solve for r, which is the radius of the sphere.
The volume of a sphere is: V = 4πr3/3 and the density is approx. 0,4 g/cm3.
you need the mass and radius of the sphere- density = mass divided by volume, so mass/volume. the volume of a sphere is 4 divided by 3 multiplied by pi multiplied by the radius squared. 4/3(π)(r^2).

Volume of anything = (its mass) divided by (its density) regardless of what shape it happens to be.
