What units do you use to measure mass and volume?
- The S.I. unit of volume is cubic metre ( m3 m 3)
- Other units include: cubic centimeter ( cm3 c m 3 ), litre (l), millilitre (ml)
- 1 litre (l) = 1 cubic decimetre ( dm3 d m 3) = 1000 cubic centimetres ( cm3 c m 3)
- 1000 litre (l) = 1 cubic metre ( m3 m 3)
- The following table shows some of the common apparatus used to measure volume:

- Density of Substance. Enter the known density of the material being measured.
- Mass Calculation. This is the calculated mass of the object which you can convert into any unit of mass measurement.
What does "find mass per unit volume" mean?
Physics: Density is defined as "mass per unit volume," but others say that it's the amount of matter, that composes an object, of a specific volume. Click to see full answer. Considering this, how do you find mass per unit volume? The Density Calculator uses the formula p=m/V, or density (p) is equal to mass (m) divided by volume (V).
What is the mass of a substance divided by unit volume?
Density is the mass of an object divided by its volume. Density often has units of grams per cubic centimeter (g/cm 3 ). Remember, grams is a mass and cubic centimeters is a volume (the same volume as 1 milliliter).
Why is mass per unit volume?
The ratio of mass to the object's unit volume means how much mass can fit into unit volume which we know is the definition of density. Hence, the mass per unit volume of a substance is known as density. Note: Density is a unique physical property of an object.
What is mass per unit volume of a liquid?
The density of a liquid is the ratio of the mass per unit volume of the material on the water mass per unit volume. (
What is mass per unit area?
The area density (also known as areal density, surface density, superficial density, areic density, mass thickness, column density, or density thickness) of a two-dimensional object is calculated as the mass per unit area. The SI derived unit is the kilogram per square metre (kg·m−2).
What do you call to the amount of mass per unit volume of an element?
The density (more precisely, the volumetric mass density; also known as specific mass), of a substance is its mass per unit volume.
