How to calculate density

Density is one of the characteristics of matter, such as mass, volume, temperature, area. It is the ratio of mass to volume. The main task is to learn how to calculate this value and know what it depends on.

Instruction

1. The density of a substance is numerically the ratio of mass to volume of a substance. If you want to determine the density of a substance and you know its mass and volume, finding the density will not make you work. The easiest way to find the density in this case is p = m/V. It is measured in kg/m^3 in SI units. However, not always a given these two values, so you should know some ways by which you can calculate the density.
2. The density has different values depending on the type of substance. In addition, the density changes from salinity and temperature. With decreasing temperature, the density increases, and with the lowering of the degree of salinity decreases and the density. For example, the density of the red sea is still considered high, and in the Baltic sea it is already less. All of you have noticed that if the water to fuel, it POPs up. All this is due to the fact that oil has a lower density than water. Metals and stone substances, on the contrary sink because their density is higher. On the basis of the density of bodies there was a theory about their swimming.
3. Thanks to the theory of the swimming of bodies there was a formula that I can find the density of a body, knowing the density of water, the volume of the body and the volume of its immersed part. This formula has the form:Vпогруж. part / V of the body = p / p liq.It follows that the density of the body can be found as follows:R body = V submersible. parts * fluid R / V body.This condition is satisfied on the basis of the tabular data and the given volume V submersible. part V of the body.
