  • Calculating Object Density: Understanding Mass and Volume
    You can't calculate the density with just the information given. Here's why:

    * Density is mass per unit volume. The formula is: Density = Mass / Volume.

    * Units must match. You need to express the volume in cubic centimeters (cm³) not just centimeters (cm).

    To find the density, you need to know the volume in cubic centimeters.

    Example:

    Let's say the object's volume is actually 50 cm³. Here's how to calculate the density:

    * Mass: 184 g

    * Volume: 50 cm³

    * Density: 184 g / 50 cm³ = 3.68 g/cm³
