The density of an object is the mass of an object divided by its volume (D = m/V).
The weight of an object is its mass times the force of gravity (Wt = mg).
Since both of these formulas have "mass" in them, one can be solved in terms of mass and then substituted in the other so that a new equation that directly relates density and weight to each other is created:
Wt = mg
Wt/g = m
D = m/V
D = (Wt/g)/V
D = Wt/Vg
*Note:
Wt = weight of the object
m = mass of the object
D = density of the object
g = force of gravity
V = volume of the object
What else can I help you with?
When the buoyant force on a submerged object is equal to the weight of the object how do the densities of the object and water compare?
Is is related through Archimedes principle, which states that the buoyancy force on an object is equal to the weight of liquid displaced by the submerged object. The weight of a volume of water is equal to the volume x density of water x the gravitational constant.FB = V ρ g
Is density related to force?
Density is the mass of an object per unit volume, while force is a push or pull applied to an object. Density is not directly related to force, as they are different physical properties. However, the weight of an object, which is a force due to gravity acting on its mass, is influenced by its density.
How is density of a floating object related to the density of the fluid it is floating in?
The "AVERAGE" Density of the entire floating object must be LESS than the density of the Fluid. The Average Density includes hollow spaces, etc. That is why a ship made of STEEL can float in water. It has a lot of EMPTY (air filled) space contained in its interior. Therefore, when the Steel Hull is immersed in the water it "DISPLACES" more water weight than the entire ship itself weighs.
What factors determine how heavy an object can be and still float?
An object will float if it has less density than the density of the liquid.An object will float if it has less density than the density of the liquid.An object will float if it has less density than the density of the liquid.An object will float if it has less density than the density of the liquid.
What is buoyancy and how is it affected by density?
Buoyancy is the factor of things that float or sink. Density is related because if the object has more density than water, it will sink. But, if it has less density than water, the object will float.

How is the weight of an object related to its density?
They are correlated by volume weight/volume = density. For example, in a metal coin, the weight might not be much, but the volume is also very low, so it turns out that the density is high. Gases have almost no weight in a lot of volume, so their density is low.
Is it true that when the weight of an object is less than the density of water that object the object will float?
The weight does not determine if an object will float in water. If an object has a DENSITY that is more than the density of water then it will sink, if it's density is less than the density of water it will float.
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.
What detirmines the weight of an object?
The weight of an object is determined by volume, density, and gravity.

What is volume weight and density?
volume is how much space is in an object (an object with more volume would be bigger) weight is how heavy an object feels due to gravity (an object with more weight would be harder to lift) density is how much matter is in an amount of space (an object with more density would weigh as much as an object with less density but in a smaller space/volume)
What other variable needs to be defined to calculate the weight of an object if the volume is given?
To calculate the weight of an object when the volume is known, you would also need the density of the material the object is made of. By multiplying the volume of the object by its density, you can determine the weight of the object.
Does density of an object depend on the gravity of the object?
Density is not affected by gravity. Density is affected by mass and volume, such that density = mass/volume. Weight, but not mass, is affected by gravity. Weight and mass are not the same thing.
