How does shape differ density?
If you use a homogenous (uniform) material, it doesn't. No matter what shape you put it into, the density should be the same.If you use a homogenous (uniform) material, it doesn't.

What is the density of a rectangle?
A rectangle is just a geometric shape; it doesn't have a "density".A material shaped like a rectangle can have a density; in this case, the density will depend on what material you are using.
What is the effect of shape on the density of samples of the same material?
it has no effect. density of a substance is the same no matter the size or shape of the sample.
What does shape have to do with density?
Nothing. Since density is defined as the mass per unit volume. Shape is different from size. Size, of course, is related to the volume. Hence Shape is irrelevent.
How is mass related to volume?
Mass is related to volume by density.The density of a material is defined as its mass per unit volume.
Does a flattened pancake of clay have the same density as the same clay when rolled into a ball?
If it's not cooked it has the same density.
Why is density is a useful physical property for identifying substances?
Density is useful for identifying an unknown material because it is a physical constant. A physical constant is a unique characteristic of the material in question. This constant never change or vary with the shape or amount of the material/substance.
Under the same conditions of temperature and pressure three different samples of the same uniform substance will have the same?
Density reason is that the density of a uniform material is constant Density is independent of the size and shape of the sample.
What are the usefulness of density in identification of unknown substance?
Density is useful for identifying an unknown material because it is a physical constant. A physical constant is a unique characteristic of the material in question. This constant never change or vary with the shape or amount of the material/substance.
Why drop of liquid acquire spherical shape?
A sphere has the most efficient ratio between the material's mass and its density.
Why doesn't changing an object's shape or size affect it's density?
No, size doesn't affect an object's shape because it's the same unit and material.
What causes materials to sink and float in water?
Density is a physical property of all materials and represents how much mass the material has per unity of volume. If the density is higher than that of water, the material floats. Lower than it sinks.
