(redirected from Specific mass)

density

Measure of the compactness of a substance; it is equal to its mass per unit volume and is measured, for example, in kg per cubic metre or lb per cubic foot. Density is a scalar quantity. The average density D of a mass m occupying a volume V is given by the formula: D = m/V. Relative density is the ratio of the density of a substance to that of water at 4°C/39.2°F.

In photography, density refers to the degree of opacity of a negative; in electricity, current density is the amount of current passing through a cross-sectional area of a conductor (usually given in amperes per square in or per square cm).
