Weight of Solid Basalt

This Mass or Weight of Solid Basalt calculator computes the mass (M) of a volume (V) of solid basalt based on the mean density (ρ) of basalt.

INSTRUCTIONS: Choose units and enter the following:

• (V) volume of the object
• (ρ) mean density of the basalt

Mass (M): The calculator returns the mass (M) of the basalt in kilograms.  However, this can be automatically converted to other mass or weight units via the pull-down menu.

The Math

The relationship between mass, volume and density is shown in the following equation for mass based on density and volume:

            M = ρ • V

where:

• M is the mass
• ρ is the density.  Note: the default is 3011.0 kg/m³, which is the mean density (ρ) of basalt.
• V is the volume
