Working
- 1ρ = 2700 ÷ 1000 = 2.7 g/cm³
Quick answer
Density equals mass divided by volume; water is 1 g/cm³ or 1,000 kg/m³.
ρ = m ÷ V
How to use the Density Calculator
- 1Enter mass in grams.
- 2Enter volume in cubic centimetres.

Frequently asked questions
What is the density of aluminium?
2.70 g/cm³ — about a third of steel, which is why it dominates aerospace and drinks cans.
Is specific gravity the same as density?
It is density relative to water, so numerically identical in g/cm³ but dimensionless.
