You can put this solution on YOUR website!
The weight is the density (given by the Greek symbol $\"rho\"$ ) multiplied by the volume.
\n" ); document.write( "The volume of a sphere is
\n" ); document.write( " $\"V=%284%2F3%29pi%2AR%5E3\"$
\n" ); document.write( "where R is the radius of the sphere.
\n" ); document.write( "The weight would then be,
\n" ); document.write( " $\"W=rho%2AV\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"W=%284%2F3%29pi%2Arho%2AR%5E3\"$
\n" ); document.write( "If density is given in lbs/ft^3, then you'll get weight in lbs.
\n" ); document.write( "To convert to ounces, multiply by 16 ounces/lb. \n" ); document.write( "
