Determining the density of a substance is a crucial aspect of many scientific and industrial applications. A convenient and efficient way to calculate density is by utilizing a graph created using Microsoft Excel. Density, denoted by the Greek letter (rho), is defined as the mass per unit volume of a substance and is expressed in units of kilograms per cubic meter (kg/m).
The formula to calculate density is:
= m/V
where:
is density in kg/m
m is mass in kilograms (kg)
V is volume in cubic meters (m)
