Mass Equation

Mass is a property of matter equal to the measure of an object's resistance to changes in either the speed or direction of its motion. The mass of an object is not dependent on gravity and therefore is different from but proportional to its weight.
There are many formulas for mass. Here are a few:
mass = density X volume
mass = Force / Acceleration
mass = energy/c^2

If density were given in mass per unit area (mass/area), then you could multiply by area to get mass.
But that doesn't make a lot of sense, since area is a 2-dimensional measure, and you don't have mass in 2 dimensions (e.g., the top surface of a table). You have mass in 3 dimensions (e.g., the mass of water in a swimming pool).
So you usually see density as mass per unit volume, and you multiply by volume to get mass.
Pressure is expressed as force (not mass) per unit area, and you multiply it by area to get force (e.g., the total force exerted on a surface by air pressure).

No it is DxV aka density times volume

No, it is density into volume

Density could be lbs / ft³ and area could be ft²
Density x area = (lbs/ft³) x ft² = lbs / ft
and lbs/ft is NOT mass.
