Specific Weight (density)

γ=ρg
(ρ)Mass Density
Tags

The Specific Weight calculator computes the Specific weight (γ) from the product of the mass density and the gravitational constant, g. 

INSTRUCTIONS: Choose units and enter the following:

  • (ρ) Mass Density of material

Specific Weight (γ): The calculator returns kilo-newtons per cubic meter. 

The Math / Science

The formula for specific weight is:

         γ=ρg

where:

  • γ = Specific Weight
  • ρ = Density
  • g = Acceleration due to gravity
