Question

difference between mass density & specific weight​

Answer 1

Measuring or comparing

Density is defined as mass per unit volume. It has the SI unit kg m-3 or kg/m3 and is an absolute quantity. Specific gravity is the ratio of a material's density with that of water at 4 °C (where it is most dense and is taken to have the value 999.974 kg m-3).

Answer 2

Answer:

Definition. The density of the material is defined as mass per unit volume, typically measured in kg/m3. The standard gravity is acceleration due to gravity, usually given in m/s2, and on Earth usually taken as 9.81 m/s2. Unlike density, specific weight is not a fixed property of a material.
