Definition:Volume

Definition

Volume is the measure of the extent of a body.

It has three dimensions and is specified in units of length cubed.

Hence the term "cube" as a general vague term for a quantity in three dimensions.

Dimension

Volume is a dimension of measurement of physics.

The dimension of volume is $L^3$: length cubed.

Units

• The SI unit of volume is the cubic meter $\mathrm m^3$.
• The CGS unit of volume is the cubic centimeter $\mathrm {cm}^3$ or, less formally, $\mathrm {cc}$.

Thus:

$1 \ \mathrm m^3 = 10^6 \ \mathrm {cm}^3 = 1\,000\,000 \ \mathrm {cc}$
