You cannot calculate volume and density with only the mass.
If the exact material forming the mass is known, then density can be looked up from a variety of sources and the volume can be calculated as mass divided by density.
For example, given only the mass "10 kg" we have no way of knowing the volume or density. However, given "10 kg of gold" we can look up the density (19.3 grams per cubic centimeter) and divide 10,000 by 19.3 to get a volume of 518.13 cc.

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 do you calculate density when given mass?
If you only know mass, you don't have enough information to calculate density.You also need to know the volume of the piece that has that mass.Once you have both of those numbers, the density is(Mass) divided by (Volume)of the same sample.
How do you figure out the mass and volume of something using its density?
Density doesn't tell you the mass or the volume. It only tells you what answer you'll get if you divide the mass by the volume. But whether you have a tiny speck of the substance or a super tanker full of it, the density will be the same.
What is the density if the volume is 100 cm 3?
Density is a physical property that relates an object's mass to its volume. To calculate density, you need to know the mass of the object as well. Without the mass, you can't determine the density just from the volume alone. So, in this case, I can't give you the density based solely on the volume of 100 cm3.
How do you find the density with only mass?
You can't. There are two measurements needed: MASS and Volume
