Density

Definition

The density of a body or material is defined as the mass per unit volume. In other words, the density $\rho$ is given by:

$\rho ={\frac {dm}{dV}}$

where $dm$ is a mass differential and $dV$ is a volume differential. In other words, it is:

$\rho ={\frac {\partial ^{3}m}{\partial x\partial y\partial z}}$
