density=mass/volume
what is the equation for mass?
mass=volume x density
what is the equation for volume?
volume=mass/density
what is the unit for density?

cm^3
exam question-density
calculate the density of a liquid of mass 400g and volume 0.0005m^3
0.4/0.0005=800kg
exam question-mass
calculate the mass of a block of gold of volume 0.76m^3. gold has a density of 19300kg/m^3
19300x0.76=14668kg
exam question-volume
calculate the volume of 1x10^3kg mass of air. air has a density of 1.225kg/m^3
100/1.225=816kg
what does 1m^3=?
1x10^6cm^3
how to calculate the density of an irregular shape?
-get the mass of the object
-put some water in a graduated cylinder
-find the final volume of water
-find volume of object
-get density of the object by doing mass divided by volume
how to calculate the density of a regular shape?
-find length, width and height of shape
-find volume by l x w x h
-do mass divided by volume to find density
