An abstract, esoteric mathematical operation known as "division." Divide mass by density, and you get volume.
A note for purists: Technically speaking, specific gravity is not density, it is a ratio of densities. However, since one of the materials in the ratio is water, and its density is well known, it's easy to calculate the density of a material from its specific gravity.

∙ 13y agoThe dimension of the side in cm are required to calculate the volume (cm3) and density in g/cm3 or specific gravity of the substance is then used to calculate the mass. Mass = Volume x Density
The specific gravity is 0.5
Derive from measurements of length, breadth, height, radius, diameter etc. Measure the volume of displaced liquid when the object is submerged. If the object is of a material of known density (or specific gravity), weigh it and calculate volume from volume = mass/density.
The relative density of a substance X, relative to a substance Y isDensity of X/Density of Y= (Mass of X/Volume of X) / (Mass of Y/Volume of Y)If Y is water then the relative density is called the specific gravity.
Not enough information. To calculate mass, you would need volume and density (mass = volume x density).
To find the volume of the mineral, you would first calculate the volume of the mineral using the formula: Volume = Mass / Specific Gravity. In this case, Volume = 2851.2g / 4.2 = 679 cubic centimeters.
The dimension of the side in cm are required to calculate the volume (cm3) and density in g/cm3 or specific gravity of the substance is then used to calculate the mass. Mass = Volume x Density
To find the volume of a substance when given its mass and specific gravity, divide the mass by the product of the specific gravity and the density of water (1000 kg/m^3). The formula is: Volume = Mass / (Specific Gravity * Density of Water).
First, you have to calculate the ball's volume. Just divide the mass by the specific gravity. Then use the formula for the volume of a sphere. Solve for r (radius). The diameter is twice the radius.

To find the volume of the solution, divide the mass by the specific gravity. In this case, 185g ÷ 1.2 = 154.17 ml. So the volume of the solution is 154.17 ml.
Specific Gravity
For substances with constant density, their mass is directly proportional to their volume. This means that as the volume of the substance increases, its mass also increases in a linear fashion. The relationship between mass and volume is described by the density of the substance, which remains the same regardless of the amount of the substance present.
A specific gravity of 4.0 for a mineral means that a given volume of the mineral has 4.0 times the mass of the same volume of water.
The specific gravity is 0.5
if you know the specific gravity and the volume of the substance you can find the mass.
The specific gravity of the metal can be calculated by dividing its density by the density of water at 4°C, which is 1 g/cm3. First, calculate the density of the metal by dividing its mass (200 g) by its volume (2 cm3) to get 100 g/cm3. Then, divide the density of the metal (100 g/cm3) by the density of water (1 g/cm3) to find the specific gravity, which is 100.
