Question
Chapter 18, Problem 1PLA
To determine
The definition of density and its unit.
Expert Solution & Answer
Answer to Problem 1PLA
Density is the mass per unit volume and its unit is
Explanation of Solution
Density of an object is the amount of matter present in the volume of the object. Density is defined as the mass per unit volume of the object.
Write the formula for density
Here,
The SI unit of density is
Conclusion:
Therefore, density is the mass per unit volume and its unit is
