Density from Water Displacement Calculator







Formula

The formula to calculate density from water displacement is:

\[ D = \frac{m}{FW - IW} \]

What is Water Displacement?

Water displacement is defined as the density of an object calculated through the displacement of a certain amount of water. This method is often used to determine the volume and density of irregularly shaped objects.

Example Calculation

Example 1:

Calculation:

\[ D = \frac{50}{120 - 100} = \frac{50}{20} = 2.5 \text{ g/cm}^3 \]

Example 2:

Calculation:

\[ D = \frac{75}{175 - 150} = \frac{75}{25} = 3 \text{ g/cm}^3 \]
