How to calculate specific volume?
Understand the Problem
The question is asking how to determine the specific volume, which is a measure of the volume occupied by a unit mass of a substance. Typically, this involves dividing the volume of the substance by its mass.
Answer
Volume divided by mass (v = V / m) or reciprocal of density (v = 1 / ρ).
The specific volume can be calculated as volume divided by mass (v = V / m) or as the reciprocal of density (v = 1 / ρ).
Answer for screen readers
The specific volume can be calculated as volume divided by mass (v = V / m) or as the reciprocal of density (v = 1 / ρ).
More Information
Specific volume is often used in thermodynamics and fluid mechanics to describe the space that a unit mass of a substance occupies.
Tips
Ensure correct units are used for volume, mass, and density to avoid calculation errors.
