Introduction to Density

The formula for density is pretty straightforward:

Density = Mass / Volume

We often use the Greek letter rho (ρ) to represent density. So, you might see it written as:

ρ = m / V

The units for density come directly from its formula: a unit of mass divided by a unit of volume. Common units include grams per cubic centimeter (g/cm³) or kilograms per cubic meter (kg/m³).
