Question

Name a factor on which the density of a body does not depend

Answer 1

For a particular substance, density doesn't depend on :

• mass only
• volume only

Instead, density is dependent on the ratio of mass and volume.

Now, let's consider an example:

• We have taken 10 grams of water in one glass.

• We have taken 100 grams of water in another glass.

• But , density of water in both the glasses are same and equal to 1 g/cc. This is because density will be dependent on both mass and volume of water. When the mass is increased the volume proportionately increases keeping the density constant.
