Talk:Orders of magnitude (density)

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

[edit] Human density

Shouldn't the average human density be 0.9xx kg/m^3? Since humans are capable of floating in water I doubt the density will be close to 1000.--2ltben 03:22, 1 September 2006 (UTC)

No Water is about 1000 kg/m3 as it is about 1 kg/litre. I believe an early definition of a kg was the "weight" (mass) of a litre of water. Crysta1c1ear 19:53, 28 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Iridium

There seems to be uncertainty about the actual density of iridium and how it was calculated. See the article on iridium for the info.
