    Jahnavi,

     

    Maintain a consistent unit system. You can either choose a SI unit system or MKS or CGS, but make sure you don't mix unit system :)/emoticons/default_smile.png' srcset='/emoticons/smile@2x.png 2x' title=':)' width='20'>

     

    If you input density in Kgs, then make sure rest of the unit system follows the same. Choose your convenient unit system
