Density of a substance is defined as the ratio of the mass of a body to its _________

Open in App

Solution

Density is defined as mass per unit volume.
$D e n s i t y (p) = \frac{M a s s (m)}{V o l u m e (v)}$
SI unit of density = $k g / m^{3}$
Hence, the density of a substance is defined as the ratio of the mass of a body to its volume
