About Density
The density of a material, typically denoted using the Greek symbol ρ, is defined as its mass per unit volume.
ρ = m / V
where:
ρ is the density
m is the mass
V is the volume
The calculation of density is quite straightforward. However, it is important to pay special attention to the units used for density calculations.
Important Notes:
- • Density is affected by pressure and temperature
- • For solids and liquids, the change in density is typically low
- • For gases, density is largely affected by temperature and pressure
- • Water's density increases between 0°C and 4°C
- • The SI unit for density is kg/m³
