The mean density look-up equation provides the mean density for a large number of substances.
INSTRUCTIONS:
Mean Density (ρ): The mean density is returned in kilograms per cubic meter. However, this can be automatically converted to other density units via the pull-down menu. The other density units include the following:
With the mean density (μD) of an object, one can compute the mass of the object via the following equation:
