What is Density? - Density Explained

What is density? in this video we explain in simple terms what density is, why it is important, how to calculate density in both imperial and metric units as well as worked examples to help you learn and apply your knowledge.

Density is calculated by dividing the mass by the volume. Density explains why ice floats. If you freeze water it expands.

Who else is watching this the night before an exam😂

I don't understand one thing from what u have said " when fluid is heated mass remains constant but volume increases that means density decrease." i think it is like this is when a fluid is heated mass decreases because of the evaporation process in this case the volume also decrease that means density decrease.

Aluminum is pronounces Al-you-min-ium in the UK, not the US, just fyi! cheers!

[mufakkirhussain]

Awesome. Create more video on electrical and electronics.

[mrmcafeeboat]

Whop it's a piece of cake.thank you

[kaustubhsawantdesai]

Create video on hospital or pharma hvac system....

At 1:47, "Al-you-mini-um" is British, not the American "Al-loo-min-um".

We just learned that Pounds are your weight in relation to gravitational acceleration. And that KG are just your mass w/o gravity. So why are they using lbs/m^3 for the Imperial unit when calculating Rho=M/V ??

Paul I have a struggle in my mind: if water or other incompressible fluids can't change their density then how a pump builds up pressure? I mean a compressor compress gas means pressure increases and therefore also the density. But it's not like that for water.

bro this video is helping me understand physics

Am I the only one who read it as "What is Destiny" instead of density the first glance?

[olliechapman]

i like how 51, 000 people have seen this vid but only 552 people have like or disliked

[EliStettner]

Why wouldn't density be measured in imperial by slugs/ft^3. Pounds are a measure of weight (like newtons) not matter (like kilograms).


Probably because saying slugs make you sound incredibly silly.

Americans say Aluminum not AlOhMinYOuum

I'm here for a science project 😎🧐

Seria bueno que a tus vídeos le pongues subtítulos en español...se ve interesante pero no entiendo nada :(
