Area density

Area density

:"For computer memory comparisons, see computer storage density. For other meanings, see Density (disambiguation)"

The area density of a two-dimensional object is calculated as the mass per unit area. The SI derived unit is: kilogram per square metre (kg m−2).

It can be calculated as:

: ho_A = frac {M} {A}

or

: ho_A = ho cdot l

where:

Usage

The area density is often used to describe the thickness of paper, e.g. 80g/m2 is very common. It is also an important quantity for the absorption of radiation.
