What is the difference between mass density and weight density?
The difference between mass density and weight density.
Explanation of Solution
Introduction:
Density is property of solid, liquid and gases substance which measure how tightly the material is packed.
Mass density is the ratio of amount of mass per unit volume.
Weight density is the ratio of weight a body has per unit volume. It is used while studying liquid pressure.
Conclusion:
Mass density is ratio of mass per unit volume and weight density is ratio of weight per unit volume.
