It depends what you are calculating. Volume is the amount of space on object occupies; mass is the amount of matter in an object.
mass divided by volume
To find the volume of mercury, you need to know the density and the mass of the sample. Once you have the mass, you can use the formula: volume = mass/density to calculate the volume of mercury.
For mass you use a triple-beam balance and for volume you use a graduated cylinder
To find the mass from volume and density, you can use the formula: mass = volume x density. Simply multiply the volume by the density value to calculate the mass. Make sure to use consistent units for volume and density for accurate results.
Use the formula: mass = volume x density
You have to know two out of three ... mass, volume, density ... then you can find the missing one. If density is missing . . . Density = (mass)/(volume) If mass is missing . . . Mass = (density) x (volume) If volume is missing . . . Volume = (mass)/(density)
The density is the ratio mass/volume.
One is the reciprocal of the other. It is more common to use "mass per volume", but in theory you could use either. If object "A" has more mass per volume than object "B", then object "B" will have more volume per mass than object "A".
The formula to calculate density is: Density = mass / volume. You simply divide the mass of an object by its volume to find its density. Density is a measure of how much mass is contained in a given volume.
no
Use the formula Mass = Density/Volume
A measuring jug is all you need for the volume and a mass balance is needed to determine mass.
