∙ 11y agoThat's not enough information. You might assume that it is, for example, a pyramid or a cone; in both cases you would need to know the base area (or the side length, or the radius, which you can use to calculate the base area). The average density doesn't help you in this problem - unless you know some other information which is not given in this problem either, such as the total mass, or anything that helps you calculate the total mass.

density = mass/volume
The shape of an object is not enough to calculate its density. You also need its mass and then Density = Mass/Volume.
Assuming you mean density, you might be referring to the definition of density: density = mass / volume
Bulk density = dry weight / volume, then by knowing the dry weight and bulk density we can calculate the volume.
By dividing the mass by the volume.
Assuming I've understood what you're trying to ask: first calculate the mass, then convert that to a volume using the density.
Assuming average density of person @ 1 kg per litre then: volume (litres) = mass (kg)
It means: * Calculate the density of an object * Calculate the density of its pieces * Compare
The average density of the Earth is approximately 5.52 grams per cubic centimeter. This value is determined by considering the total mass of the Earth and its volume. The density varies throughout the different layers of the Earth, with the core being the most dense.
You can calculate the mass of an object by multiplying its density by its volume. The formula to calculate mass is: mass = density x volume.
centroid
the area of the triangular face (0.5 x base x height) times the length of the prism * * * * * No. That will only give the volume which is not the same as the mass. You will either need to assume that the prism is of uniform density. In that case, you multiply its volume by the density. Alternatively, you follow Archimedes' principle to determine the density or even the weight of the prism. Then you need to convert to mass by dividing by the force of gravity. Not as easy as the first answer wrongly made it look.
Unless you can calculate or measure the volume, you cannot. And even if you could you would get the average density - of the material of the ball and the air inside.
Calculate its volume. Divide mass by volume to get its density. Compare that to the density of water - assuming you want to figure out whether it will float or sink in water.
volume/mass= density
density = mass/volume
