The density of an object is determined by dividing its mass by its volume. Mathematically, density (ρ) is calculated using the formula:
Density (ρ) = Mass (m) / Volume (V)
The mass of an object can be obtained by measuring it with a balance or a scale, typically expressed in kilograms (kg) or grams (g).
The volume of an object can be determined through various methods depending on its shape. For regular-shaped objects, such as a cube or cylinder, volume can be calculated using mathematical formulas. For irregular-shaped objects, the volume can be determined by measuring either the displacement of water it occupies or by using non-destructive testing techniques like using a laser scanner or a 3D scanner.
Once the mass and volume are known, they can be used to calculate the density of the object.
