How do I find mass and density if the only measurements I have are length, diameter, and weight?

Find the volume of the object. This is done by the formula of Volume=(3.141592654)*(diameter/2)^2
mass= weight divided by the acceleration of gravity.
mass=weight/9.81m/s/s
or if it was done in English units;
mass=weight/32/2m/s/s
Density = mass/volume

Weight is related to mass by the gravitational acceleration of the Earth (g). Density is equal to mass divided by volume. Volume can be determined by knowing length, height, and width, or diameter and length of an object (depending on the object's geometric shape).

it rather is advisable to drop technology in case you dont understand what a liter is. think of of a 2 liter bottle of coke. Its a volume. Density is Mass/volume. Weight is mass below the effect of gravity.
