1. What is the Volume Formula?

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.

2. How Does the Calculator Work?

The calculator uses the volume formula:

Where:

• \( V \) — Volume in cubic meters (m³)
• \( m \) — Mass in kilograms (kg)
• \( \rho \) — Density in kilograms per cubic meter (kg/m³)

Explanation: The formula shows that volume is inversely proportional to density when mass is constant.

3. Importance of Volume Calculation

Details: Calculating volume from mass and density is essential in material science, fluid mechanics, and when designing containers or storage systems.

4. Using the Calculator

Tips: Enter mass in kilograms and density in kg/m³. Both values must be positive numbers.

5. Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

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.
