Questions and Answers
Physical properties describe the inherent characteristics of a material without subjecting it to external forces or conditions. Key physical properties include: a) Density: The mass per unit volume of a material, often expressed in kilograms per cubic meter (kg/m³) or pounds per cubic foot (lb/ft³). b) Porosity: The percentage of void spaces or pores within a material. Lower porosity is generally preferred for materials used in structural applications. c) Color and Appearance: The visual characteristics of a material, which may be important for aesthetic consi.
