Density is defined as the mass of something divided by the volume of the
same thing.
During a careful reading of the definition, it becomes apparent that density
is not mass, and that density is also similarly not weight as well, either.

Is the density of a substance obtained by dividing its volume with its weight?
The density is measured by dividing the mass of the substance with it's volume. Density = Mass/Volume.
What two pieces of information do you need to find the density of an object?
mass (or weight, which is mass relative to Earth's gravity) and volume. The density unit will be mass (weight) per unit volume. For a very rough example, the density of air in a tire is measured in PSI (pounds per square inch)
What is mass and density?
What links mass and density is knowing the volume. Density is mass/volume. Mass is essentially weight here on earth, and has the units in grams generally (maybe kilograms depending on how dense) and accordingly, volume may be in cm3 or litres or m3)
Is it true that weight and size is used to measure density?
To calculate the density, find the mass and the volume. Mass divided by volume = Density. Each substance has a different density. Density is measured in g/cc (solids) or g/ml (liquids).
How are mass volume and density different?
Mass: is the weight of an object. Volume: is the space inside an object. Density: is how much stuff there is in some ammount of space:3 your welcome
What is the formula for calculating weight if density and volume are given?
Weight = (density) times (volume)The definition of density is mass/volume .Now [ weight = mass x gravity ], so [ mass = weight/gravity ], and [ density = weight/gravity x volume ] .So Weight = (density) x (volume) x (gravity)
Distinguish between mass density and weight density?
The difference is that the mass density not effect by gravity but weight density effect by gravity. for example if mass density cotn in earth equal to 20 kg/m3 and weight density equal to 196.2 N/m3 this cotn will change the weight density in the moon but mass density not change because gravity moon diffrent to gravity earth mass density =mass/volume (no gravity) weight density= (mass * gravity)/volume (gravity)
Does density of an object depend on the gravity of the object?
Density is not affected by gravity. Density is affected by mass and volume, such that density = mass/volume. Weight, but not mass, is affected by gravity. Weight and mass are not the same thing.
Why is mass and weight necessary to find density?
the definition of density is the amount of mass contained in a set volumeto find density one must know mass and volume the equation is as follows: density= mass/volume hence, weight is not necessary to find density
What is the formula for volume if given density?
The formula for mass if density is not given is mass=volume/power
Does weight define an objects mass?
No, weight is a force. Mass is proportional to density.
How to calculate weight of Expandable Polystyrene Thermocol if density is given?
density= mass/ volume (if you want the weight then you have to multiply the mass by 9.8, however I am sure that you mean the mass. Mass= kg, Weight= Newtons)
How is weight different than density?
density is weight compared to size and how much mass is in object weight is just weight.
Is density defined as a mass per unit of weight?
No, density is mass per unit volume.
What is the formula of the formula mass?
Mass = weight /gravity Density = Mass / Volume So, if you know the density and the volume, you can calculate the mass. Also, you can measure the mass by measuring the weight. On earth, mass and weight are equal.
How does mass volume density and weight compare?
Density = Mass/Volume is a measure of the amount of matter in a unit volume of a substance. Weight is the effect of gravity acting on a mass.
What is the definition of density?
Density is a property of matter representing the mass per unit volume. :)
