What is Density?

Density is a physical property of matter that describes how much mass is contained in a given volume. It's often used to identify substances, predict whether objects will float or sink, and in engineering calculations.

The Density Formula

Where:

• ρ (rho) = Density (typically in g/cm³ or kg/m³)
• m = Mass (typically in grams or kilograms)
• V = Volume (typically in cm³ or m³)

Rearranged Formulas

• To find mass: m = ρ × V
• To find volume: V = m / ρ

Unit Conversions

• 1 g/cm³ = 1000 kg/m³
• 1 g/mL = 1 g/cm³ (for liquids)
• Water density: 1 g/cm³ = 1000 kg/m³

Real-World Applications

• Buoyancy: Objects float if their density is less than the fluid
• Material identification: Density helps identify unknown materials
• Quality control: Manufacturing uses density to verify product consistency
• Shipping: Calculating weight from volume for logistics
