1.5 Volume(cm³)
DENSITY
Denser
material SI Unit :
will sink g/cm³
Density in
everyday life
Eg: Food and drinks
EXAMPLE 1

An object has a mass of 25g and a volume of 50cm³. Calculate the

value of the density of the object?
Formula of Density
= Mass (g)
Volume (cm³)
= 25g
50cm³
= 0.5g/cm³
 EXAMPLE 2

A wood block has dimensions like the

5cm diagram on the side.

a) Find the volume of the wood block

2 cm
8cm b) If the mass of the wood block is 20g,
calculate the density.
SOLUTION:

b) Density = Mass ÷ Volume

a) Volume = Length x width x height = 20g
=8x2x5 80 cm³
= 80 cm³ = 0.25 g/cm³
 Application of density
❑Less dense material will float
❑The denser material will sink
Eg:
Less denser Boba pearl milk tea
Boba is denser than tea.
Tea is less dense than boba.

Denser
Example:
1. Which of the following materials is ;
a) DENSER= Mercury (13.6g/cm³)
b) LESS DENSE = Cork (0.25 g/cm³)

2. Arrange the material in descending order

according to density.
Mercury,Glass,Water,Wood,Petrol,Cork
Highest to lowest (descending order)
Lowest to highest (Ascending order)

OF DENSITY IN
DAILY LIFE
