What is the formula to find volume when density and mass are known?
V = m / ρ
Density is defined as the mass per unit
volume
Match the density unit with its context:
kg/m³ ↔️ Larger objects
g/cm³ ↔️ Smaller objects
The units of density are used to measure how much mass is packed into a given
volume
Water has a density of approximately 1 g/cm³ or 1000 kg/
m³
