Density & Pressure

Density is a physical property defined as mass per unit volume. It can be used to calculate whether an object will float or sink in a liquid. Pressure is defined as force per unit area and is caused by particle collisions within materials. Atmospheric pressure is caused by the weight of air in Earth's atmosphere and decreases with increasing altitude.
