Density Calculator:
Enter the values of mass, m(lbs) and volume, v(ft3) to determine the value of Density, D(lbs/ft3).
Density Calculator Formula:
Density signifies the mass of a substance per unit volume, typically measured in kilograms per cubic metre or pounds per cubic foot. It reflects how much mass is packed into a given volume of a material.
Higher density indicates that more mass is concentrated in a smaller volume, which can affect the material’s properties such as strength, buoyancy, and thermal conductivity.
The volume acts like a container, influencing the density. A smaller volume with the same mass leads to higher density.
In a solid object, more mass packed into a smaller volume (higher density) indicates a denser and potentially stronger material.
The material’s volume acts like a container, confining the mass. A smaller volume makes it harder to fit the same mass, resulting in higher density.
Imagine a metal block. The heaviness you perceive is related to the density of the material. As the mass and volume fluctuate, the density also varies.
Density, D(lbs/ft3) in pounds per cubic foot is calculated by dividing the mass, m(lbs) in pounds by the volume, v(ft3) in cubic feet.
Density, D(lbs/ft3) = m(lbs) / v(ft3)
D(lbs/ft3) = density in pounds per cubic foot, lbs/ft3.
m(lbs) = mass in pounds, lbs.
v(ft3) = volume in cubic feet, ft3.
Density Calculation:
- Find density:
Given: m(lbs) = 150lbs, v(ft3) = 3ft3.
Density, D(lbs/ft3) = m(lbs) / v(ft3)
D(lbs/ft3) = 150 / 3
D(lbs/ft3) = 50lbs/ft3.
- Find mass:
Given: D(lbs/ft3) = 25lbs/ft3, v(ft3) = 4ft3.
Density, D(lbs/ft3) = m(lbs) / v(ft3)
m(lbs) = D(lbs/ft3) * v(ft3)
m(lbs) = 25 * 4
m(lbs) = 100lbs.
