Chapter 1, Problem 1.76QP

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

To identify the mineral sample by using density values.

Concept Introduction:

Weights and measurements adopted the “International System of units” which is a particular choice of metric units and this system has seven type SI base units.

Density:

Mass per unit volume of an object is called “density”.  It can be expressed as,

$\text{d = }\frac{\text{m}}{\text{v}}$

Here,

d is density of an object,

m is mass of an object

v is volume

Density is an important physical property of a material.  The SI unit of density for solid is “ ${\text{kg/m}}^{\text{3}}$”.
