The density and mass of Spiral galaxy NGC 3672 has been studied as a function of the distance from the center of the galaxy. The mass of the three regions of the galaxy (nucleus, disk and halo) have been calculated and compared with other work. The total mass of NGC 3672 is found to be 1.22×10 Mo at a radius of 23.7 kpc.
