Question 1

How do I convert g/cm³ to kg/m³?

Accepted Answer

Multiply by 1000. 1 g/cm³ = 1000 kg/m³.

Question 2

Which units are used in science vs industry?

Accepted Answer

Science often uses g/cm³ for convenience. Industry uses kg/m³ (SI) or lb/ft³ (US).

Question 3

What's the relationship between density and specific gravity?

Accepted Answer

Specific gravity is density relative to water (1 g/cm³). So a material with SG of 2.5 is 2.5 times denser than water, or 2500 kg/m³.

Question 4

Why does temperature affect density?

Accepted Answer

Most materials expand when heated, decreasing density. Water is unusual - it's densest at 4°C. This is why ice floats.
