7: Density
( \newcommand{\kernel}{\mathrm{null}\,}\)
As an example of a quantity involving mixed units, consider the important quantity called density. Density is defined to be mass per unit volume:
ρ=MV
Here ρ is the density of a body, M is its mass, and V is its volume. The SI units of density are kg/m3; mass has SI units of kg, and volume has SI units of m3.
