There is no unit of density but it is a measure of mass (weight) per unit of volume (space). If a brick weights 3kg and it has a volume of one thousandths of a cubic metre (.001 m3), it will have a density of 3Mg/m3 or 3 Mega grams per cubic metre. The units of density are Volume measured in cubic metres and Mass measured in grams or kg (kilograms)
In the old imperial system this would be pounds per cubic foot.

What are units for density?
There is no specific unit, per se, to measure density. Density is always expressed as a ratio of mass/volume. Examples of density ratios include:gm/cm3Kg/m3ounces/cubic inchpounds/gallon
Which are units used to express volume?
liter and cubic centimeter
What is density units of measurement?
Density is measured in units of Mass/Volume (e.g. g/cc, kg/cubic meter, pounds/cubic foot).
What units do you measure density in?
The common units for density is grams per liter. Density can be given in any units of mass per any unit of volume (i.e. kg per milliliters).
What are 2 units for density?
Using SI units, the two units for density are kilograms and cubic meters. Density is defined as the ratio of the mass in kilograms to the volume in cubic meters. So density is given as kilogram per cubic meters.
What is the unit measured to express the density of liquids?
density usually signified by the greek letter rho is expressed in kg/m^3 in SI units, and lb/ft^3 in US units.
Why is it convienient to express the density or the specific gravity in cgs units?
Actually it isn't. cgs units are sort of obsolete; nowadays, the scientific community uses SI units.
What is the mass of a substance with a density of 8787 ten thousandths and a volume of 1300 ten thousandths?
Density = 0.8787 units of density measured in some units of mass and some units of volume Volume = 0.1300 units of volume Mass = Volume*Density adjusted for any conversion factor for differences in the units used for mass and volume - none of which have been specified.
What are two common units of measure used to express density?
i don't know that's why im asking u guys
Why is an object density expressed as a relationship between two units?
It is not two units are not the same as 1 density the objects density only counts on how much the mass of the object is then you will find out the density (units are counted in the density)
What derived units is usually used to express the density of liquids?
The derived SI unit for density is Kilogram per cubic metre.
Why is a objects density expressed a relationship between two units?
It is not two units are not the same as 1 density the objects density only counts on how much the mass of the object is then you will find out the density (units are counted in the density)
Why is a objects density expressed as a relationship between two units?

What is the formula to calculate density and units?
Density = Mass/Volume. Conversion between units will depend on what the two units are.
What is the density of an irregular object with a mass of sixteen and a volume of twenty-five ml?
Density = mass/volume = 16 of some units/25 ml = 0.64 some units per ml - which is quite a useless measure if you don;t know what the units of mass are!
What is the density of a substace that has a mass of 18 grams and a volume of 3 cubic cm?
Divide the mass by the volume and express the answer in terms of "units of mass per units of volume" - in this case, grams per cm^3..
What is the mass units for density?
Density is measured in units of mass divided by units of volume. The SI unit is kilograms/meter3.
