density= mass/volume
The best strategy in that situation would be to use what you do know.
Object's density = (its mass) divided by (its volume)
To calculate the density of the clay, use the formula: density = mass/volume. Given that the mass is 1000 grams and the volume is 500 cm³, the density would be 1000g / 500cm³ = 2 g/cm³. Therefore, the density of the clay is 2 g/cm³.
Density is mass per unit volume; in metric system it is grams per cubic centimeter; in the English system, we use the term as weight per unit volume, or pounds per cubic inchAnother AnswerIn the SI system, the standard unit of density is the kilogram per cubic metre. The SI system doesn't use centimetres.
Then you would really be talking about a different type of unit, that (a) has nothing to do with density as it is usually defined (therefore you better give it a different name, to avoid confusion), and (b) may have no practical use.

To calculate the mass of a ball, you would typically use the density of the material the ball is made of and its volume. The formula to calculate mass is mass = density x volume. You would need to know the density of the material and measure the volume of the ball to determine its mass.
To calculate the density of an irregularly shaped object, you would typically use a scale to measure its mass and a graduated cylinder to measure its volume by displacement of water. The density can then be calculated by dividing the mass by the volume.
The best strategy in that situation would be to use what you do know.
The density of a substance is the ratio of its mass to its volume. So, I would measure the mass and volume of a substance to calculate density.
cc (cubic centimeters) is a unit of volume lb (pounds) is a unit of mass (more accurately weight, but that's trivial) you would need to use the density of the substance and use the formula: density = mass / volume
Density is calculated as measured mass per unit volume. Milliliters are a unit of volume, so you could use that in your volume measurement.
To calculate the density of an ethanol-water mixture, you would use the formula: Density (mass of ethanol mass of water) / (volume of ethanol volume of water) You would need to know the masses and volumes of both ethanol and water in the mixture. Then, you can plug these values into the formula to find the density of the mixture.
chemecles like nermistres that my teacher uses use that
mass/volume
'Density' is not a unit at all. Density is how tightly atoms in an object are packed together. Therefore, density isn't a new unit, or a unit at all for that matter. The SI units of density are kg m-3. It common use the cgs unit g cm-3 is much more prevalent.
