What is the formula for density?

Density is calculated using the formula: ρ = m / V, where ρ (rho) is density, m is mass, and V is volume. The standard SI unit is kilograms per cubic meter (kg/m³).

What are the common units for density?

Common density units include kg/m³ (kilograms per cubic meter), g/cm³ (grams per cubic centimeter), and lb/ft³ (pounds per cubic foot). Water has a density of approximately 1000 kg/m³ or 1 g/cm³.

What is the density of water?

The density of water at 4°C is approximately 1000 kg/m³, 1 g/cm³, or 62.4 lb/ft³. This is why objects with density less than water float, while those with higher density sink.
