This posting explains how to calculate density of an object.
Solution Preview
Density is defined as the average mass per unit volume; it is a measure of how much matter is squeezed into a given space. The more closely packed the molecules, the higher the density of the material.
The equation for density is as follows:
Density = Mass (g) / Volume (cm3)
To find the density of an object, both the mass and the volume need to be known.
