Question
the unit of measure for the density of a liquid is:
1 g/ml
2 g/cm
3 g/kg

Brief Explanations
Density is defined as mass per unit volume. For liquids, common units for mass include grams (\(g\)) and for volume, milliliters (\(mL\)) (since \(1\ cm^{3}=1\ mL\)). The formula for density \(
ho=\frac{m}{V}\). If \(m\) is in grams (\(g\)) and \(V\) is in \(mL\), then the unit of density is \(g/mL\).
- Option 2 (\(g/cm\)): \(cm\) is a unit of length, not volume. So this is incorrect as density is mass per unit volume.
- Option 3 (\(g/kg\)): Both \(g\) and \(kg\) are units of mass. Division of two mass - related units does not give density.
