No.
A droplet of water and an olympic swimming pool full of water have the same density.
Water is water. Density is a property of the substance, not a property of any sample with any certain size or shape.

Amount of mass in a certain volume?
Density is the amount of mass in a given volume.The symbol most often used for density is p (the lower case Greek letter rho). Mathematically, density is calculated as mass divided by volume (p = m/V).
When an object or liquid's density is greater than one it wiLL BE WHAT?
The answer will depend on the units used. A density of 1 gram per litre is pretty light (less than the density of air at STP) whereas a density of 1 kilogram per ml is seriously dense.
What is the formula used to calculated the density of an object?
density=mass/volume
What is the formula used to calculate the density an object?
density=mass/volume
Which physical properties are used to calculate the density of an object?
The density is the ratio between the mass and the volume.
What is the formula used to calculate the density of an object?
Mass divided by volume
How is density calculated and how do scientists use it?
Density is mass divided by volume. Can be used to determine if an object will float in a liquid or not.
How is density used in industry?
Density or, more strictly, variations in density are perhaps most commonly used to separate materials of different density in a machine called a centrifuge. Density measures a relationship between the mass and volume of an object.
How does the density of an object affect it's buoyancy?
If an object's density is higher than the density of the fluid it is displacing, it will sink, unless it's average density is lower. You can decrease the average density by altering the object's shape. Most of the materials used in shipbuilding are denser than water, but the shape of the ship spreads the density of the materials used over a larger area, giving it the ability to displace more more than it's own weight. If the object is less dense than the fluid it displaces, it floats. This is why ice and ships float.
What is the examples of extensive property of matter?
An extensive property as a physical quantity whose magnitude is additive for subsystems.The value of such an additive property is proportional to the size of the system it describes, or to the quantity of matter in the system. (Definition in 'en.wikipedia.org')
What formula do scientists use to calculate an object's density?
Density is defined as the mass divided by the volume. This definition can, in many cases, also be used to measure the density.
A scientist immerses an irregularly shaped object into a beaker of water and notes how far the water rises.What property of the object is the scientist measuring?
The amount the water rises is dependent of the volume of water displaced by the object - thus it can be used to measure the volume of the immersed object. If the object did not immerse completely - if it floated - the displaced fluid could instead be used to calculate the relative density of the object - when combined with the total volume.
