Actually, BOTH are used. You can define density as mass divided by volume (or mass per unit volume).

What is the equation used for calculating density?
density = mass/volume
What is the formula for calculating density if the mass and volume of an object are known?
The object's density = (its mass) divided by (its volume)
What is the formula to finding density?
The formula for calculating density is as follows: density = mass/volume. Simply put, if you divide an object's mass by its volume, you will find its density. Density is the mass of an object per unit volume.
What is the formula for calculating volume using mass and density?
The definition of density is: Density = (Mass) divided by (Volume).A simple algebraic operation rearranges this definition to give: Mass = (Density) times (Volume)
What is the formal for calculating density?
density=mass/volume d=m/v
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)
What mistake did Andrew make in calculating density?
Andrew made a mistake in calculating density by not properly measuring the volume of the object. Density is calculated by dividing the mass of an object by its volume, and if the volume is incorrect, it will lead to an inaccurate density value.
What is the relationship between mass of a solid object and the volume?
There is no direct relationship between how much mass an object has and it's volume. That is, mass plays no part in calculating the volume, and volume plays not part in determining mass. However, they are related by the equation to calculate the density. Density=Mass/Volume.
What is the equation for mass volume and density?
Mass = Density x Volume Density = Mass/Volume Volume = Mass/Density
What is the density of oak if the mass is 0.33?
You need to know the volume of the piece.After the tables the density of oak wood is 0,6-0,9 g/cm3.
What the formula for caculating density?
First of all please spell 'calculating' correctly; NOT caculating. The equation for calculating density is ;_ Density = mass / volume This can be reduced to '- d = m/v We can insert the units of density , in metric d = m(kg) / v( cm^3) or in Imperial d = m(lb (pounds)) / v (cu.ins(cubic inches)).
What is formula for calculating an object's density?
Mass divided by Volume = Density. Or use the displacement method for an irregularly shaped object.
