How Can Density Be Calculated Without Volume for Cubes and Cylinders?

AI Thread Summary
Density for solid cubes and cylinders can be calculated using specific formulas that incorporate dimensions and mass. For a rectangular prism, the density is calculated as mass divided by the product of length, width, and height. For a cube, density is mass divided by the cube of its width, while for a cylinder, it is mass divided by the product of pi, the square of the radius, and height. Although the original request sought methods to find density without volume, the provided equations still rely on volume calculations. These formulas are essential for determining density in a physics lab setting.

Please, can you help me I need to help to find density for solid cube and cylinders ex.wood cube,wood cylinders, aluminum cube. I need to find density without the volume. I looking for the equation to work out the problems.

I can't use D=mass/volume

I have no volume to calculate
because we only measure the length, width and mass
in our physics lab class.


Thank you

Rectangular prism-
Density= mass/(length*width*height)

Cube-
Density= mass/width cubed

Cylinder
Density= mass/(pi*radius squared*height)

Or do those not count??
 
Thank-You

Thank-you Gale 17, I can use these equations they do count.
 
Incidentally, the formulae Gale listed are density = mass / volume.
 
Thread 'Video on imaginary numbers and some queries'
Hi, I was watching the following video. I found some points confusing. Could you please help me to understand the gaps? Thanks, in advance! Question 1: Around 4:22, the video says the following. So for those mathematicians, negative numbers didn't exist. You could subtract, that is find the difference between two positive quantities, but you couldn't have a negative answer or negative coefficients. Mathematicians were so averse to negative numbers that there was no single quadratic...
Insights auto threads is broken atm, so I'm manually creating these for new Insight articles. In Dirac’s Principles of Quantum Mechanics published in 1930 he introduced a “convenient notation” he referred to as a “delta function” which he treated as a continuum analog to the discrete Kronecker delta. The Kronecker delta is simply the indexed components of the identity operator in matrix algebra Source: https://www.physicsforums.com/insights/what-exactly-is-diracs-delta-function/ by...
Thread 'Unit Circle Double Angle Derivations'
Here I made a terrible mistake of assuming this to be an equilateral triangle and set 2sinx=1 => x=pi/6. Although this did derive the double angle formulas it also led into a terrible mess trying to find all the combinations of sides. I must have been tired and just assumed 6x=180 and 2sinx=1. By that time, I was so mindset that I nearly scolded a person for even saying 90-x. I wonder if this is a case of biased observation that seeks to dis credit me like Jesus of Nazareth since in reality...
