Density and Buoyancy Calculator

Solve density from mass and volume, and calculate buoyant force with float/sink determination.

Density & Buoyancy Calculator

Solve density from mass and volume, and calculate buoyant force with float/sink determination.

Density (ρ = m / V)

Fill any two fields to solve for the third.

Density Results

Density (ρ): 2,000 kg/m³

Mass (m): 10 kg

Volume (V): 0.005

Buoyancy (F_b = ρ_fluid · V · g)

Calculate the buoyant force and determine if an object floats or sinks.

Buoyancy Results

Buoyant Force: 49.03325 N

F_b = ρ_fluid × V × g = 1000 × 0.005 × 9.80665

Object floats (ρ_object ≤ ρ_fluid)

Density and Buoyancy Calculator

This free calculator solves for density, mass, or volume given the other two values, and calculates buoyant force using Archimedes’ principle to determine whether an object floats or sinks. No sign-up required.

  • Density: solve for ρ, m, or V given any two
  • Buoyant force: F_b = ρ_fluid × V × g
  • Float or sink determination
  • Common fluid density presets (water, seawater, mercury)
