## What is Density Conversion?

Density conversion allows you to convert mass-per-volume measurements between different units. Density is a fundamental property of materials that determines whether objects float or sink and is crucial in chemistry, physics, engineering, and materials science. Our density converter handles all common density units used in scientific and industrial applications.

export const kg/m³

// The SI unit of density. Water has a density of about 1,000 kg/m³ at 4°C. Used in physics and engineering.

export const g/cm³

// Common in chemistry and materials science. Water is 1 g/cm³. Equal to 1,000 kg/m³.

export const lb/ft³

// Common in US engineering. Water is about 62.4 lb/ft³. Used for construction materials and industrial applications.

## Frequently Asked Questions

01 ### Q: What is the density of water?

/**

Pure water at 4°C has a density of exactly 1 g/cm³ or 1,000 kg/m³. This is often used as a reference for comparing other materials.

*/

02 ### Q: How does density determine if something floats?

/**

Objects less dense than the surrounding fluid float; denser objects sink. Ice floats because it is less dense (0.92 g/cm³) than liquid water (1 g/cm³).
