converting volume to weight

by Dr. Oda Baumbach DDS Published 3 years ago Updated 2 years ago

To convert volume to weight (mass), multiply the volume by the density of the substance. Mass = Density × Volume. For conversions to work, the units of mass and volume referenced in the formula must match with the density.

For those people looking for the formula for converting volume to weight, and vice-versa, it looks like this (adapted from answers.com): Density = mass/volume (ρ=m/V). So V=m/ρ and has units (kilograms)/(kilograms per cubic meter)=cubic meter.27-Aug-2019

What is the difference between volume and weight?

The following are the difference between volume and density :

  • Volume - The Volume Measures the three-dimensional space occupied by an object.
  • Density - Density Measures the amount of mass present in an object.
  • Volume - The volume of a particular shape or object is calculated by three components – length, width and height.

Is volume equal to weight?

Volume is a measure of the amount of space something takes up. Things like cups of flour, gallons of milk, cubic feet of helium… these are all volume measurements. Weight is a measurement of an object's heaviness. Grams of salt, pounds of sugar, kilograms of apples… these are measurements of weight.23-Jan-2020

How do you convert volume to grams?

To convert a liter measurement to a gram measurement, multiply the volume by 1,000 times the density of the ingredient or material. Thus, the volume in grams is equal to the liters multiplied by 1,000 times the density of the ingredient or material.

How do you convert volume into pounds?

To convert a liter measurement to a pound measurement, multiply the volume by 2.204623 times the density of the ingredient or material. Thus, the volume in pounds is equal to the liters multiplied by 2.204623 times the density of the ingredient or material.

How can I calculate weight?

Weight is a measure of the force of gravity pulling down on an object. It depends on the object's mass and the acceleration due to gravity, which is 9.8 m/s2 on Earth.The formula for calculating weight is F = m × 9.8 m/s2, where F is the object's weight in Newtons (N) and m is the object's mass in kilograms.06-Jun-2021

Notes on ingredient measurements

It is a bit tricky to get an accurate food conversion since its characteristics change according to humidity, temperature, or how well packed the ingredient is. Ingredients that contain the terms sliced, minced, diced, crushed, chopped add uncertainties to the measurements.
