Density

Density:
-defined as its mass per unit volume.
-or, its weight per unit volume.
-Osmium is the most densest known substance at standard conditions for temperature and pressure.
-less dense fluids float on more dense fluids if THE FLUIDS DO NOT MIX.

 Here is an example of density between fluids.















-formula of density:             Mass
                         D    =     ————
                                       Volume


Example: An iron bar has a mass of 12.00 g and a volume of 1.25 L.  What is the iron bars density?

    As we know D=M/G, we could simply plug in the number, D=12.00g/1.25L which equals to 960 but don't forget the units! Its 960 g/L.
