Archimedes' Density Formula Explained

Density is defined as mass per unit volume, or how tightly matter is crammed together. It is a measurement of how much stuff an object has in a cubic unit of volume. The principle of density was discovered by Greek scientist Archimedes. Temperature reflects the quantity of energy of motion of particles and is a comparative measure of how hot or cold something is. The Kelvin scale measures absolute temperature with zero at absolute zero, while Celsius assigns 0°C to freezing and 100°C to boiling points of water. Mass reflects the quantity of matter within a sample and is usually reported in grams or kilograms. Volume is the space occupied by a liquid, solid or gas and is commonly expressed in liters, cubic meters or

Density

A material's density is defined as its mass per unit volume. Put another way, density is
the ratio between mass and volume or mass per unit volume. It is a measure of how much stuff
an object has in a unit volume (cubic meter or cubic centimeter). Density is essentially a
measurement of how tightly matter is crammed together. The principle of density was discovered
by the Greek scientist Archimedes.
Formula:
d = m / v

Temperature
Is the property of matter which reflects the quantity of energy of motion of the
component particles? It is a comparative measure of how hot or cold a material is. The coldest
theoretical temperature is called absolute zero. It is the temperature where the thermal motion of
particles is at its minimum (not the same as motionless). Absolute zero is 0 K on the Kelvin
scale, −273.15 C on the Celsius scale, and −459.67 F on the Fahrenheit scale.
Kelvin - The Kelvin temperature scale is an absolute temperature scale with zero at absolute
zero. Because it is an absolute scale, measurements made using the Kelvin scale do not have degrees.

Formula: K= C+ 273

Celsius - The Celsius scale is based on a derived unit defined by assigning the temperatures of
0°C and 100°C to the freezing and boiling points of water, respectively, at 1 atm pressure. More
precisely, the Celsius scale is defined by absolute zero and the triple point of pure water. This definition
allows easy conversion between the Celsius and Kelvin temperature scales, such that absolute zero is
defined to be precisely 0 K and −273.15 °C. The triple point of water is defined to be 273.16 K (0.01 °C;
32.02 °F). The interval between one degree Celsius and one Kelvin are exactly the same. Note the degree
is not used in the Kelvin scale because it is an absolute scale.

Formula: C= K – 273

Farenheit

Formula: F = 1.8 C + 32

Mass - Mass is the property which reflects the quantity of matter within a sample. Mass usually is
reported in grams (g) and kilograms (kg).

Ex. Gram to kilogram


Volume- is the quantity of three-dimensional space occupied by a liquid, solid, or gas. Common
units used to express volume include liters, cubic meters, gallons, milliliters, teaspoons, and ounces,
though many other units exist.

Ex. Milliliter to liter


Distance is a numerical measurement of how far apart objects are. In physics or everyday usage,
distance may refer to a physical length or an estimation based on other criteria (e.g. "two counties over").
In most cases, "distance from A to B" is interchangeable with "distance from B to A". In  mathematics, a
distance function or metric is a generalization of the concept of physical distance. A metric is a function
that behaves according to a specific set of rules, and is a way of describing what it means for elements of
some space to be "close to" or "far away from" each other.
Ex. Meter to kilometer
