Density is used to determine if the material or substance is good for the job it is built for. For example, if you want to build a boat out of wood, wouldn't you want to know if the wood floats on water? 1a) A boat builder likes to make special boats out of reclaimed wood from trees he finds at the bottom of lakes. He found a particular tree but he did not know what type of wood it was and if it would be a good density for his boat building. So he cut a piece of out of the tree that had the dimensions of 1.0 mx 0.5 mx 0.25 m and a mass of 159.4 kg. Would this wood be good to use for his boat? The density of water is 1000 kg/m³.
