Figure: For fun we will use the body density value we find as an input to calculate the “body fat percentage” of our object, but of course this number will not be meaningful because the final BF% formula we are using is an empirical model based only on data from people. You may need to look up the equation relating mass and weight of an object near the surface of the Earth.
