-- Get a piece of the material. It doesn't matter what size it is.
-- Measure the mass of the sample.
-- Measure the volume of the sample.
-- Divide the mass by the volume. The result is the density of the material.
You must know the density of the dry material.
The same way you measure the density of any other material. Divide the mass of a sample by its volume.
to get density you take mass divided by volume
it depends on what you have a tonne of Tonne is a measure of mass. Litrs is a measure of volume. To convert between the two you need the density of the material - which means you have to pick a material and find its density before you can do the conversion.
not possible to convert a mass measure to a volume measure unless given the material density.
- The specific weight is the weight of a known volume of material at a given temperature and pressure; the unit of measure is kN/m3. - But if you think to relative density: Relative density (specific gravity) is the ratio between the density of the material to be tested and the density of water, at a given temperature and pressure; consequently no unit of measure for this ratio.
The material density is missing to be able to convert a volume measure to mass measure.
You need also the mass of the material: volume = mass/density. After you measure the mass of the object, then divide by the density, to find volume.
"Cups" is a measure of volume; "pounds" is a measure of weight. You would need to specify the material, or at least the density of the material, for us to calculate this.
It depends on the density of the material being measured. Grams measure mass while teaspoons measure volume. You can use density to convert between them since [density = mass / volume].
The definition of density is mass divided by volume. Density lets you compare how heavy a material is, compared to another material of the same size. That is, if one material is more dense than another, a sample of the same size will be heavier, and more massive. Density is usually defined by mass and not by weight, but a material that is more massive is also heavier.
In Civil engineering, Loose Measure Volume is the measure of the volume of a material after it has been dug up. In general, it will have a lower density than Bank Measure.
