What do you need the weight of a pill for?

I had to use 100mg vitamin C pills for a bio lab I did a while back. They're about the same size as a generic 5mg percocet pill, maybe a little smaller. Mass came out to be roughly 280mg (.01g scale).

But why do you need to know?

Density? Nah, that's just a myth.

Yeah your most likely chewable vitamin C was probably quite soft and easy to crush, therefore more dense... I know that percs are fairly dense, especially next to a vitC.

Since when does soft mean dense?
