Could someone please explain this to me? ?

Question

The density of water is 1.0 g/cm^3 Convert this density to units of kg/m^3?

Answer 1

hi Mary, here...

to change the unit is not hard,

you need to know how to convert this basics unit.

1 kg = 1000 g

1 m^3 = 1000000cm^3

so,

density of water = 1.0 g/cm^3 =

1.0 g = 1 / 1000 kg

1 cm^3 = 1/1000000 m^3

then...

(1/1000)/(1/1000000)= (1/1000)  x (1000000/1) = 1000 kg/m^3

done ..see ya.

Answer 2

1 g=0.001 kg =10^(-3) kg

1 cm^3=10^(-6) m^3

then

10^(-3)/10^(-6)=10^3

then 1000 kg/m^3
