if I am given a area density of 10^-4, I can get linear and volumetric density from that right? I just can't seem to figure it out.
The discussion focuses on converting area density to linear and volumetric density, specifically for a flat square surface with an area density of 10^-4. The total mass (M) is calculated using the formula M = σA, where σ is the area density and A is the area. The volumetric density (ρ) is derived from the mass and volume, resulting in the formula ρ = σ/T, where T represents the thickness of the plate. Linear density is defined as constant in a direction parallel to one side of the plate.
