How are si units for volume and density derived from si units for length and mass?
The unit of volume (cubic metre) is derived quite easily from the unit of length (metre). Imagine a cube whose edges are all one metre long - the volume of this cube is one cubic metre. Any volume can be expressed as multiples of this (e.g. 6 cubic metres), or as a fraction of this (e.g. 0.25 cubic metres).
One thousandth of a cubic metre is called a a "cubic decimetre" or a "litre" (a decimetre being one tenth of a metre). If you have one cubic decimetre of water, its mass is one kilogram, as originally defined. This makes the density of water equal to exactly 1 kilogram per cubic decimetre (1 kg dm-3), or 1000 kilograms per cubic metre (1000 kg m-3). All other densities are measured relative to that, so if a substance has a density of 2 kg dm-3, it is twice as dense (heavy for its size) as water.
Water is used as a liquid that we are all familiar with, and we kind of know from our everyday lives how heavy it is going to be, judging from how much of it there is, (assuming it is a relatively small quantity).
What else can I help you with?
Is volume fundamental or derived quantity?
Volume is a derived quantity because it is calculated by multiplying three lengths together in the SI system of units. The SI base units for length are meters, so volume is expressed in cubic meters (m^3). It is not considered a fundamental quantity like length, mass, or time, which are base units in the SI system.
What are the metric units for length mass weight volume and density?
meters, grams, liters Density is mass divided by volume.
What is the mass of a cube with units?
The mass of a cube is equal to the volume times the density, so side cubed times density. The corresponding SI units would be: meters for length; kilogram per cubic meters for volume; kilograms for mass.
How to convert density to mass?
To convert density to mass, you need to know the volume as well. The formula to calculate mass from density and volume is mass = density x volume. Multiply the density of the substance by the volume in cubic units to get the mass in units of mass (e.g. grams, kilograms).
What are the metric units for length mass weight volume and density for kids?
Length: centimeters (cm) or meters (m) Mass: grams (g) or kilograms (kg) Weight: Newtons (N) Volume: milliliters (mL) or liters (L) Density: grams per cubic centimeter (g/cm³)
Why density is a derive unit?
a fundamental unit is kg or m - (also seconds, amps, candela and moles). Density is kg/m3 and is thus derived.
How SI units for volume and density are derived from SI base units for length and mass?
Unit of length is m and that of mass is kg Now volume is length x length x lenght. SO volume would have the unit mxmxm = m3 Density = mass / volume So unit for density = kg /m3
Is volume fundamental or derived quantity?

Why are the SI units of measure for length mass volume density time and temperature?
Length: meter (or metre) Mass: kilogram Volume: the appropriate derived units would be cubic meters but liters are also commonly used Density: there is no standard, but you could use the derived units of kg per cubic meter but the cgs (centimeter, grams, seconds system of units) units of g/cc are also commonly used Time: second Temperature: Kelvin
What is the SI units of mass volume and density?
S.I. unit for length : meter S.I. unit for mass : Kilogram Thus: S.I. unit for volume : cubic meter ( m3 ) S.I. unit for density : Kilograms per cubic meter ( kg/m3 )
What property is being measured when the unit of measurement is it length density mass volume?
The unit of length in SI is metre (m). The unit of mass in SI is kilogram (kg). The unit of volume in SI is litre (L). The derived unit of density in SI is Mg/m3 (or g/cm3). Length, mass, density, volume are not units but characteristics of materials and objects.
Is volume derived or fundamental?
Volume is measured in units derived from the fundamental unit of length.
Why are there no S.I base units for area or volume?
There are no S.I. base units for area or volume because they are derived quantities, calculated from base units. Area is derived from the square of length (meters squared), and volume is derived from the cube of length (meters cubed). The S.I. system focuses on a limited set of base units to maintain simplicity and consistency, allowing for a wide range of derived units to be expressed in relation to these fundamental measurements.
What are the metric units for length mass weight volume and density?
meters, grams, liters Density is mass divided by volume.
Why the unit of density is called derived unit?
Density is not a derived unit.. It is a physical quantity and hence is a derived quantity.. the unit of density kgm-3 or gcm-3 is a derived unit because it can be expressed as the quotient of base units. In general, a unit is said to be derived if it can be expressed as the product and/or quotient of base units.
What are some examples of base units?
m to the second
What units do we use for length volume and mass?
The units for the volume if you are measuring any liquid or solid is metre^3/cm^3 as density = mass/volume. The units for mass is grams
