What to Focus On

  • Density means mass per unit volume.
  • Symbol of density is d.
  • SI unit of density is kg m⁻³.
  • Mass is measured first.
  • Volume is calculated from shape.
  • Density is mass divided by volume.
  • Irregular solids use displacement method.
  • A measuring cylinder can be used for volume change.
  • A Eureka can collects overflow water from the solid.

Common Mistakes to Avoid

Relative density has a unit like g cm^-3 or kg m^-3.

Density and relative density are the same thing.

A body floats only if its weight is smaller than its mass.

Memory Tips

Density definition and formula

SI and CGS units of density

Density unit conversion

Density does not depend on shape or size
