No, dVdV is not always equal to dx dy dzdx \, dy \, dz. In Cartesian coordinates, dV=dx dy dzdV = dx \, dy \, dz, but in other coordinate systems, such as cylindrical or spherical coordinates, the expression for dVdV changes to account for the geometry of the coordinate grid.

Conditions: The current setup uses rectangular/Cartesian coordinates.; In other coordinate systems, such as polar-type coordinates mentioned verbally, dVdV may take a different form.

Find a method

↗

The differential mass element dmassdmass is derived by multiplying the local density ρ(x,y,z)\rho(x,y,z) by the infinitesimal volume element dVdV. For the example density ρ(x,y,z)=xyz\rho(x,y,z)=xyz, this gives dmass=xyz dVdmass = xyz \, dV.

Conditions: The object has non-uniform density.; The density is modeled as a function of position (x,y,z)(x,y,z).; dVdV denotes an infinitesimal volume element.
