More about Density
The density of any substance is the ratio of Mass per unit Volume. The density is denoted using the greek symbol ρ . While calculating the density of any substance, one needs to ensure putting proper units before calculation. Also one need to convert the units into proper units. If not it may result in incorrect values. And another thing to note is that some substance tends to change its density as per change in Temperature and pressure. In the case of solid and liquids change in density is insignificant. But in the case of gas, it is significant. Increase in Temperature tends to decrease the density of air, and increase in pressure decreases its volume.Densities ( ρ) of some common material
