You make the following measurements of an object: 42 kg and 22 m3.
What would the object’s density be? Show your work for credit and include final units.
The density of an object is defined as the ratio of its mass over its volume; it shows how much mass is packed in a specific volume unit. Mathematically, p=m/V where p=density. Substituting, we get that:[tex]p= \frac{42kg}{22m^3}=1.91 \frac{kg}{m^3} [/tex]. We have that the arithmetic value is 1.91 and the units are kg/m^3.
