To make pizza dough, I'm trying to measure 750 grams of flour. However, I don't have access to any weight measurement tool or any standard cup. I have this mug as unit of measurement. I wonder how many of this mug would roughly be 750 grams of flour?

Cup diameter is 7 cm

Cup height is 8 cm

Buy a 500g pack of flour. Fill the cup with flour and measure how many cups can fill 500g of flour. You can then do simple math to understand the weight of flour each cup is holding.

Here it is mentioned that :

serving density | 0.58 g/cm^3 (grams per cubic centimeter)

Therefore, based on the reported dimensions, the flour weight would be:

pi / 4 * 7 * 7 * 8 * 0.58 = 178.568 grams

For a more precise answer, the cup dimensions should be measured with more precision.

Thanks to @Damila and this post.

On this website it is mentioned:

Therefore, 4.25 ounces of flour might weight 120 grams. Also it is known that 4.25 ounces is 0.0001256875 cubic meters:

My cup volume is:

pi / 4 * 7 * 7 * 8 * 10^-6 = 0.00030787608 cubic meters

Therefore reach cup would weigh around:

0.00030787608 / 0.0001256875 * 120 = 293.944342914 grams

Please let me know if my calculations are missing something!
