Carleton,
I'm pleased that you accept the word "mass" (or body mass) when mass is
intended and force is not intended.
Also "mass divided by volume" is called "density." The term "heavier than"
implies a comparison of forces.
e.g. Blood is more dense than water. And, a bag of donated blood is heavier
than the same bag filled with water.
Gene.
