Calculating Density of Concrete

[SiCharlton]

Hi all,
My problem is concerning density and how to calculate it. Basically, calculating density of a concrete cube. I've been given;

Weight (kg) In Air - 2.345,2.340
In Water - 1.348, 1.360

Dimensions - Height - 1900mm
Width - 320mm
Depth - 180mm

I need to calculate the Density kg/m^3

Does it include the specific gravity etc..? I've searched google for ages but to no avail. Could it be, Weight in air/(weight in air - weight in water) to give S.G, thus 2.35...therefore a ratio 1:2.35 of water to cement. Taking density of water as 1000kg/m^3, density of concrete is 2350kg/m^3?

Any help will be really appreciated.

Thanks
Simon

You seem to have been given rather too much information. If you have the dimensions and the weight in air then you have the density ( simply mass / volume )
Be carefull of the units.

If you wanted to be really picky you could include the buoyant effects of the air - although this wouldn't be worth it given the accuracy the dimensions are quoted to.
