Is the less than the density of lead?
2006-08-25 11:51:23 · update #1
It depends on the type of glass but falls in the range of 2400 kg/m³ to 7200 kg/m³
This is less dense than pure lead which has a density of 11,340 kg/m³.
Pure water by comparison is precisely 1,000 kg/m³ - so glass is between 2.4 and 7.2 times as heavy as water and lead is more than 11 times as heavy as water.

don't know the exact density of glass, but common sense would tell you it is less dense than lead.

It depends on the type of used glass.But generally,glass is less dense than lead.

considering it is made mostly of sand with maybe a bit of lead in it, I suppose the density has got to be less
you need the formula or summat?

I think you would need to know the surface tension of it first. Since glass is technically a liquid.

Of course it is less dense than lead.

hold on if denisty = mass/volume it's so yea it's the mass of the glass divided by it's volume which is length X width X height

It varies with the type of glass.
