Assume you have a composite material with just two constituents, fiber and matrix. Then let the weight fraction of fiber be Wf, and let the volume fraction of fiber be Vf. To convert from Wf to Vf, you'll need the density of the composite, roc, and the density of the fiber, rof.

To get the theoretical density of the composite, roc, you will need the weight fractions for fiber and matrix, Wf and Wm, and the densities of fiber and matrix, rof and rom.

Then, roc = (rof rom) / (rom Wf + rof Wm)

To convert Wf to Vf,

Vf = (Wf roc) / rof

Similarly, Vm = (Wm roc) / rom

If you want to convert from Vf to Wf, then you'll need an expression of roc in terms of the volume fractions.

roc = rof Vf + rom Vm

These expressions can be generalized to any number of constituents.

How do you convert the volumen into weight?

To convert volume to weight, you need to know the density of the substance in question. The formula is Weight = Volume x Density. First, find the density of the material, then multiply it by the volume to get the weight.

Please tell me how to convert 4ookg into cubic met?

To convert mass (kg) to volume (cubic meters), you need to know the density of the substance. Without the density, you cannot accurately convert 400 kg to cubic meters. Density is needed to convert mass to volume.

How can change volume into weight?

You cannot. Volume and weight are two different characteristics and, according to basic dimensional analysis, conversion from one to the other is not valid. If you had the density of the substance, you would be able to convert the volume to mass. But mass is not the same as weight. You would then need information about the strength of gravitational attraction at the location to convert the mass into weight.
