Density, Mass, Volume Formula


Density is defined as the ratio of mass to volume which shows the material's weight against its mass volume.



Density Formula : d = m/v

Mass Formula : m = dv

volume : m/d

The density of materials have been amused compare to water as the water has density 1000 kg / cubic meters while petrol has weight 755 kg / cubic meters and the
