Overview
Density is the mass of a substance per unit volume. For a cylinder, the volume is determined by its radius and height, which allows for calculating the density if the mass is known.
💡
Pro Tips
Ensure the mass and dimensions are in compatible units (e.g., grams and cm for g/cm³).
Radius is half the diameter.
The density of water is approximately 1.0 g/cm³ or 1000 kg/m³.

Fun Facts
"Cylindrical shapes are common in manufacturing for rods, pipes, and tanks because they are easy to produce and distribute stress evenly."
"If you know the density of a material, you can use this calculator in reverse to find the mass or size needed."
