Abstract

Density is the amount of matter in a unit volume of space. In this paper it will be expressed in grams per cubic centimeter. As a rule we think of density as being applicable to the things we deal with in everyday life, forgetting that it is an important characteristic of matter, from atomic nucleus to the stellar universe. To a great extent the behavior of matter may be explained by a knowledge of density.
