You would like to know whether silicon will float in mercury and you know that can determine this based on their densities. unfortunately, you have the density of mercury in units of kilogrammeter3 and the density of silicon in other units: 2.33 gramcentimeter3. you decide to convert the density of silicon into units of kilogrammeter3 to perform the comparison. by which combination of conversion factors will you multiply 2.33 gramcentimeter3 to perform the unit conversion?
1 g/cm3 is equal to 1000 kilogram/cubic meter or alternatively 0.001 g/cm3 is equal to 1 kg/m3 . Therefore to convert the 2.33 gramcentimeter3 to kgm3 then multiply it by 1000.
