define surface density
Answers
Explanation:
: a quantity (such as mass or electricity) per unit area distributed over a surface.
Theory :
The areal density (also known as area density, surface density, superficial density, areic density, mass thickness, or density thickness) of a two-dimensional object is calculated as the mass per unit area. The SI derived unit is: kilogram per square metre (kg·m−2). In the paper and fabric industries, it is called grammage and is expressed in grams per square meter (gsm); for paper in particular, it may be expressed as pounds per ream of standard sizes ("basis ream").
Formulation :
It can be calculated as:
ρA = m / A
or
ρA = ρ. l
ρA = average area density
m = total mass of the object
A = total area of the object
ρ = average density
l = average thickness of the object
