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

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.
 
Here is a little puzzle from the book 100 Geometric Games by Pierre Berloquin. The side of a small square is one meter long and the side of a larger square one and a half meters long. One vertex of the large square is at the center of the small square. The side of the large square cuts two sides of the small square into one- third parts and two-thirds parts. What is the area where the squares overlap?
