The volume formula \( V = \frac{m}{\rho} \) calculates the volume of a substance based on its mass and density. This fundamental physics equation is widely used in science and engineering.
The calculator uses the volume formula:
Where:
Explanation: The formula shows that volume is inversely proportional to density when mass is constant.
Details: Calculating volume from mass and density is essential in material science, fluid mechanics, and when designing containers or storage systems.
Tips: Enter mass in kilograms and density in kg/m³. Both values must be positive numbers.
Q1: What are typical density values?
A: Water has density of 1000 kg/m³, air about 1.2 kg/m³, and metals range from 2700 kg/m³ (aluminum) to 7870 kg/m³ (steel).
Q2: Can I use different units?
A: The calculator uses standard SI units. For other units, convert to kg and kg/m³ first.
Q3: Why is my result in cubic meters?
A: The SI unit for volume is m³. For liters, multiply by 1000 (1 m³ = 1000 L).
Q4: What if density changes with temperature?
A: This calculator assumes constant density. For precise calculations, use density at the specific temperature.
Q5: How accurate is this calculation?
A: Accuracy depends on the precision of your mass and density measurements.
