The Volume of Water from Weight calculator computes the volume (V) of water associated with a weight or mass.
INSTRUCTIONS: Choose units and enter the flowing;
- (W) Weight of Water
Volume of Water(V): The calculator returns the volume of water in gallons. However, this can be automatically converted to compatible units via the pull-down menu.
The Math / Science
The Volume of Water from Weight computes the amount of water that would weigh a specified amount.
V = M / D
where:
- V = Volume of Water
- M = Mass or Weight of Water
- D = Density of Water (1,000 kg/m3)
The Density of Water is 1,000 kilograms per cubic meters. The formula for mass is:
where:
- M is the mass
- D is the density (mean density)
- V is the volume.
The mean density (mD, μD or ρ) of many common substances, elements, liquids and materials can be found by clicking HERE (e.g. the μD(water) is 1,000 kg/m3).
