Homework Statement
I'm dealing with densities of liquids.
When using the formula P = Patm + ϱgh, where ϱ is the density of the liquid, what should the units of ϱ be?
Homework Equations
The Attempt at a Solution
I have P in kPa, so just looking at the units gives:
kPa = kPa + (?)(m/s2)(m) --> kPa = (?)(m2/s2)
Which would mean the units of ϱ are (kPa)(s2 / m2).
Somehow that seems wrong... I thought ϱ was supposed to have units of mass per volume?
