Mass,Weight & Density

Mass is a fundamental property representing the amount of matter in a body, measured in kilograms, and independent of gravitational fields. It is a scalar quantity and is determined using devices like electronic calibrated balances or beam balances.

Mass,Weight & Density

Chapter 4 Mass,Weight & Density

Mass

Measure using
Electronic calibrated balance
Beam Balance
Scalar Quantity
It does not depend on the gravitational field strenth
Mass S.I unit Kilogram
Mass is a measure of inertia.
Mass is the amount of matter,in a body.

Differences

Weight

Measured using
Compression Balancance
Spring Balance
Vector Quantity
Formula: Weight=Mass X Gravitational field strength
Weight S.I unit Newton
Weight of an object is the gravitational force of gravity acting on it.

Inertia

The greater the mass of an object, the greater the inertia
Mass is the measure of inerita
The reluctance of an ojbect to change its state of motion due to its mass

Density is defined as its mass per unit volume.

Density

Defined as mass per unit volume
Density Formula is density = mass/volume
Density S.I unit is in Kilogram per cubic metre.
Subtopic

Gravitational Field

known as weight
A mass experiencing force due to gravitational attraction
