In the course of physics the mass m of a body can be determined by multiplying the volume of the body V, its density p:
m = p*V.
The volume of the body is given. Unknown density of the body. But to know it is easy because it is easy to find from the table the density of various substances, liquid, solid, bulk.
Example. We need to convert 6 cubic meters of sand in tons. Density of sand, according to the table is 1200 - 1700 kg/cubic meter. For example, this sand consists of small particles, it is used in architectural works when decorating, it has a density of 1700 kg/ cubic meter. Then the mass is calculated as follows:
m = 1700*6=9420 lbs. or 9 tons and 420 pounds.
m = p*V.
