What is the math definition of density?

In: Science, Units of Measure [Edit categories]

Answer:

there are only 2 variables for the definition of density. One is Mass (M) common units for mass include Kilograms (kg) or slugs (sl) to name a couple. The other variable is Volume (V) usually measured in cubic centimeters cm^3 or cubic inches in^3. the actual density (D) equation is: D=M/V density equals mass divided by volume. water for example has a density of 1000 kg / m^3
