  • Density Calculation: Formula, Units & Measurement
    To calculate the density of an object, you can use the following formula:

    ```

    Density = mass / volume

    ```

    where:

    * Density is measured in kilograms per cubic meter (kg/m³).

    * Mass is measured in kilograms (kg).

    * Volume is measured in cubic meters (m³).

    To find the density of an object, you need to know its mass and volume. You can measure the mass of an object using a scale. To measure the volume of an object, you can use a graduated cylinder or a beaker.

    Here is an example of how to calculate the density of a block of wood:

    1. Measure the mass of the block of wood using a scale. Let's say the mass of the block of wood is 100 grams (0.1 kilograms).

    2. Measure the volume of the block of wood using a graduated cylinder or a beaker. Let's say the volume of the block of wood is 100 cubic centimeters (0.0001 cubic meters).

    3. Calculate the density of the block of wood using the formula:

    ```

    Density = mass / volume

    ```

    ```

    Density = 0.1 kilograms / 0.0001 cubic meters

    ```

    ```

    Density = 1000 kilograms per cubic meter

    ```

    Therefore, the density of the block of wood is 1000 kilograms per cubic meter.
