SUMMARY
To calculate the volume of a powder without knowing its density, one effective method is to place the powder in a container of known volume. This approach provides a straightforward way to estimate the volume based on the weight of the powder. While the discussion suggests a simple solution, it emphasizes the importance of using a container with a precise volume measurement for accuracy.
