Question

The density of a solid is defined as the

A mass of the solid compared to the mass of an equal volume of water
B amount of water displaced when a unit mass of thesolid is immersed in it
C weight per unit volume of the solid
D volume per unit mass of the solid
E mass per unit volume of the solid

Answer 1

The correct answer is E. mass per unit volume of the solid

Density is defined as the mass of a substance per unit volume. In other words, it is the amount of mass contained in a unit volume of the substance. The formula for density is:

Density ( $ρ$ ) = Mass ( $m$ ) / Volume ( $V$ )

Therefore, the correct definition of density is "mass per unit volume of the solid."
