This mass calculator can estimate the mass of a body by taking account of its volume and density, while the units for the two values can be chosen as desired. You can read more about the mass and density formula below the tool.
How does this mass calculator work?

The algorithm behind this mass calculator uses this density formula:
ρ = m / V
Where:
ρ = density
m = mass
V = volume
From the above equation rise this mass formula:
m = ρ * V
Usually the mass is expressed in kilograms (kg) and grams (g) in Metric units and pounds (lbs) in English units, but in order to have a quick view on how much such a unit represents this mass calculator displays as well the mass in all the units listed here by using the following conversion rates:
|
