Density, Mass, and Volume Relationship

By SC Editorial 2026-05-25 6 min read

Density (rho) is mass per unit volume: rho = m/V. It explains why oil floats on water and why helium balloons rise.

Formula and Units

Standard unit: kg/m^3. Water's density is approximately 1000 kg/m^3. Calculate with our Density Calculator.

Rearranging

m = rho * V and V = m/rho. Given any two values, solve for the third.

Example

Mass 500 g, volume 250 cm^3: rho = 2 g/cm^3 = 2000 kg/m^3 - denser than water.
