En física el término densidad (\rho\,\!) es una magnitud referida a la cantidad de masa contenida en un determinado volumen,
*sinónimo de masa volúmica*, y puede utilizarse en términos absolutos o relativos. En términos sencillos, un objeto pequeño y pesado, como una piedra o un trozo de plomo, es más denso que un objeto grande y liviano, como un corcho o un poco de espuma.

masa volumétrica


Explanation:
La masa volumétrica coincide con la densidad en el caso del agua, pero el concepto es diferente, ver RAE "densidad" = relación entre masa y volumen de un cuerpo. Ver páginas 8-9 del enlace relacionado

  -> gracias
neutral  M. C. Filgueira: Aunque los adjetivos "volumétrico" y "volúmico" se usan a veces como sinónimos, creo que es preferible reservar el 1.° a lo relacionado con la medición de volúmenes (DRAE) y el 2.°, a lo relacionado con el volumen en sí mismo. Sigo en una nota aparte.

  -> "relación entre masa y volumen de un cuerpo" es definición no mía, sino del RAE y concepto utilizado en física
