It is commonly used in astrophysics, high-pressure materials research, and engineering disciplines such as fluid mechanics and structural engineering.
Key Terminology
-
Kilogram per cubic centimeter
-
A density unit representing kilograms of mass contained in one cubic centimeter of volume; often used for describing extremely high densities.
-
Kilogram per cubic meter
-
The SI derived unit of density expressing mass in kilograms per volume of one cubic meter, widely used across science and engineering fields.
-
Density
-
A measure of mass per unit volume, indicating how much mass is contained in a specific amount of space.
