The Formula

  • Density = mass / volume
  • Units g/mL or g/cm³

Floating

  • Less dense than the fluid → floats
  • Water is 1.0 g/mL; ice is less, so it floats

Specific Gravity

  • Density compared with water
  • Urine specific gravity ~1.005–1.030 indicates concentration

Measuring

  • Volume of an irregular solid by water displacement
