Sphere - Density

`rho = "M" /(4/3 * pi * "r" ^3) `
`(r) "radius of the sphere"`
`(M)"mass of the sphere"`

The Density of a Sphere calculator computes the density a sphere (ρ) based on the radius (r) of the sphere and the mass (M).

INSTRUCTIONS:  Choose units and enter the following:

  • (r) Radius of Sphere
  • (M) Mass of Sphere

Sphere Density (ρ) : The Density of the Sphere (ρ) is returned in kilograms per cubic meter.  However, this can be automatically converted to other density units via the pull-down menu.  The calculator also returns the volume of the sphere (V) used in computing the density.

The Math / Science

The formula for density is:

The equation for the volume of a sphere is as follows:

           V = 4/3•π•r³

The two formulas are combined in this calculator:
