No, weight and density are not the same. They are two different physical properties of substances. Weight is a measure of the force exerted on an object due to gravity, while density is a measure of mass per unit volume.

What is a rubber band's weight?
The weight depends on the volume, or size, and the density of the band. In the same way, a book's weight depends on its volume and density.
When a submarine pumps water out of its flotations tanks its density decreases and it float. Why does its density decrease?
Density is weight divided by volume. Since the size of the hull stays the same, when the weight of the water is removed, the volume of the hull stays the same and the density is reduced.
What metal has the same density as a fishing weight that has a density of 11.3 grams per mililiter?
Lead
Does density of an object depend on the gravity of the object?
Density is not affected by gravity. Density is affected by mass and volume, such that density = mass/volume. Weight, but not mass, is affected by gravity. Weight and mass are not the same thing.
Give the formula for density?
To check density of any liquid , measure liquid & water in same quantity at same temperature & divide liquid weight by weight of water which gives density of liquid at that temperature.Exa. If you want to measure density of alcohol , take it in pre-weighted 10 ml cylinder & weight by using any suitable balance ( like mettller balance) note the reading as A. after that weight 10 ml water in same cylinder after rinsing & measure the weight as reading B. To get the actual weight of liquid & water subtract the empty & dry cylinder's weight-. Now calculated as under-Density of liquid= A-C/ B-C.By- S.Joshi
How is density not mass or weight?
Density is defined as the mass of something divided by the volume of the same thing. During a careful reading of the definition, it becomes apparent that density is not mass, and that density is also similarly not weight as well, either.
Do you find the density of a substance by dividingits volume by its weight?
No. To find the density, you divide the Mass by the Volume.Weight is not involved. Aboard the Space Station, the object has no weight, but it still has the same mass and its density has not changed.
Is density how much something weighs?
Density is not how much something weighs. Density and weight go together but are not the same thing as each other.
Did mendeleev group the elements by density?
Chemistry books say that he grouped the elements by atomic weight. That is not the same as density.
Do a pound of cotton and a pound of lead have the same density?
No. Density is equal to mass over volume. It has nothing to do with the weight.
Is the density of a particular substance always the same as the given weight and mass?
no syfdchyrx
Does density of objects with the same weight affect how far it goes off a catapult?
Yes; if density is lower with same weight it will have bigger volume, hence more air resistance when catapulted and hence less distance traveled
