The equation d=13/v shows that the density of a particular substance equals a mass of 13 grams divided by the volume of the substance. What happens to the density as the volume approaches 0?

d = M/V where M=mass and V = volume

Assume the Mass is 1 kg and the Volume = 1 cm³, so d= 1/1 kg/cm³

for V=0.1 → d = 1/0.1 = 10 kg.cm³
for V = 0.01 → d = 100.kg.cm³
for V = 0.001 → d = 1000.kg.cm³
for V = 0.000001 → d = 1,000,000.kg.cm³
and when Volume → 0. density →∞
