What Is Density?
![Page 3: Fluid Density GCCE Physics Module – Saltwater Intrusion In Response To Sea Level Rise](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022070305/55145a185503462d4e8b5577/html5/thumbnails/3.jpg)
What Is Mass?
• Mass is the total amount of matter in an object
• Measured in grams or kilograms
• Mass can be found from weight using W=mg

What Is Volume?
• Volume is the total amount of space an object occupies.
• Measured in m3 or cm3

What Is Density?• Density is the total mass
contained within a certain volume
• Density is an intrinsic property. It is a property of a substance rather than a property of the amount of a substance. It always stays the same – no matter how much you have!
Substance Density (g/cm3)
Helium 0.00018
Air 0.0012
Propane 0.0018
Olive Oil 0.92
Water 1.00
Honey 1.36
Steel 8
Lead 11.3
Osmium 22.6

If steel sinks, why do ships float?
• The air inside the hull counts as part of the ship’s volume.
• The ship is made of heavy steel, but the ship’s overall density is less than water’s density. So- it floats!!

How do hot air balloons fly?
• Hot air is less dense than cold air.
• The overall density of the balloon and hot air is about the same as cold air.

What makes a submarine sink and surface?
• A submarine has ballast tanks that can be filled with air or water.
• In order to surface, pressurized air pushes water out of the ballast tanks- making it less dense than seawater.

What do we need to calculate density of fluids?
• Remember the units: – kg/m3
– g/cm3
