1000kg/m^3 is
approximately the density of water: one gram per
millilitre.
Precisely, even, if memory serves. I believe that the kilogram is
defined as the weight of one litre of water at a certain pressure and
temperature.
Well, it'd be the *mass* of, not the *weight* of. But that aside, I
thought the kilogram was still defined as the mass of a certain piece
of metal kept at the BIPM in S?vres? Wikipedia certainly thinks so
(see
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kilogram)....
