Converting 8 g/cm³ to kg/m³
This article will guide you through the process of converting 8 g/cm³ to kg/m³.
Understanding the Units
- g/cm³: This is the unit of grams per cubic centimeter, often used for measuring the density of solids and liquids.
- kg/m³: This is the unit of kilograms per cubic meter, the standard SI unit for density.
Conversion Factors
- 1 kg = 1000 g
- 1 m = 100 cm
Conversion Steps
- Convert grams to kilograms:
- Since 1 kg = 1000 g, we can divide 8 g by 1000 to get 0.008 kg.
- Convert cubic centimeters to cubic meters:
- Since 1 m = 100 cm, 1 m³ = (100 cm)³ = 1,000,000 cm³.
- Therefore, 1 cm³ = 1/1,000,000 m³.
- Combine the conversions:
- We have 0.008 kg / 1 cm³. To get kg/m³, we need to multiply the numerator and denominator by 1,000,000.
- This gives us (0.008 kg * 1,000,000) / (1 cm³ * 1,000,000) = 8000 kg/m³.
Final Answer
Therefore, 8 g/cm³ is equivalent to 8000 kg/m³.
