Do you find the density of a substance by dividingits volume by its weight?

No. To find the density, you divide the Mass by the Volume.
Weight is not involved. Aboard the Space Station, the object has no weight, but it still has the same mass and its density has not changed.

What is the difference between specific gravity and density?
Relative density, or specific gravity, is the ratio of the density (mass of a unit volume) of a substance to the density of a given reference material. Specific gravity usually means relative density with respect to water.
How does mass volume density and weight compare?
Density = Mass/Volume is a measure of the amount of matter in a unit volume of a substance. Weight is the effect of gravity acting on a mass.
True or false Density is the weight per volume of a substance?
Hmmm... technically false. Density is mass/volume - it is an intrinsic property. Weight is subjective to the force of gravity, while density is not.
What is the formula for calculating weight if density and volume are given?
Weight = (density) times (volume)The definition of density is mass/volume .Now [ weight = mass x gravity ], so [ mass = weight/gravity ], and [ density = weight/gravity x volume ] .So Weight = (density) x (volume) x (gravity)
How many centiliters are in a milligram?
Centiliters are volume, milligram is weight. The answer would be dependent on the density of the substance.
What is sugar's density?
Density measures how compact a particular substance is. It can be calculated by adding the weight with the volume of the substance. To figure out the density of sugar you must first know the weight and volume and then plug them into the equation: density = weight + volume.
Is the density of a substance obtained by dividing its volume with its weight?
The density is measured by dividing the mass of the substance with it's volume. Density = Mass/Volume.
2000 pounds equals how many gallons?
This depends on the substance. Re-ask the question with the substance or density of the substance. Gallons -> volume Lbs -> weight Weight = volume X density
How many cubic liters of bark are in 1 cubic ton?
This depends on the density of the substance. Liters: Volume Tonne: Weight Density = Weight / Volume Volume = Weight / Density
What two things must you know about density?
In order to calculate the density of a substance, you must know the volume and the weight of a sample. Then the density is calculated as Density = (Weight) divided by (Volume).
What is the difference between specific gravity and density?
Relative density, or specific gravity, is the ratio of the density (mass of a unit volume) of a substance to the density of a given reference material. Specific gravity usually means relative density with respect to water.
How does mass volume density and weight compare?
Density = Mass/Volume is a measure of the amount of matter in a unit volume of a substance. Weight is the effect of gravity acting on a mass.
A solid has a volume of 24cm3 and a mass of 60g. What is the density?
The density of a substance is often expressed in units of grams per milliliter. If a substance with a volume of 60 ml weighs 85 grams the density is found by dividing the weight (85g) by the volume (60ml). This substance has a density of 1.42g/ml
What are properties of a substance that will never change?
weight, volume, density, mass
True or false Density is the weight per volume of a substance?
Hmmm... technically false. Density is mass/volume - it is an intrinsic property. Weight is subjective to the force of gravity, while density is not.
What is density and how is the density of a substance calculated?
Density is the weight of an object per unit of volume. For instance, the density of gold is 19 grams per cubic centimeter. To calculate the density of an object divide the weight of the object by the volume.
Liters in a tonne?
It all depends upon the density of the substance since:A tonne is a measure of weight;A litre is a measure of volume; anddensity = weight ÷ volume⇒ volume = weight ÷ density
