Question

Differentiate between specific weight and specific volume

Answer 1

Specific volume. In thermodynamics, the specific volume of a substance is the ratio of the substance's volume to its mass. It is the reciprocal of density and an intrinsic property of matter as well. Specific volume is defined as the number of cubic meters occupied by one kilogram of a particular substance

The specific weight (also known as the unit weight) is the weight per unit volume of a material. ... A commonly used value is the specific weight of water on Earth at 4°C, which is 9.807 kN/m3 or 62.43 lbf/ft3. The terms specific gravity, and less often specific weight, are also used for relative density.

Answer 2

Specific weight and Specific volume

Explanation:

Specific weight of a liquid is characterized as the proportion of the heaviness of a liquid to the volume of the liquid. Or then again weight of a liquid for every unit volume is called its particular weight  

The specific volume of a substance is the proportion of the substance's volume to its mass. It is the corresponding of thickness and an inherent property of issue also. Explicit volume is characterized as the quantity of cubic meters involved by one kilogram of a specific substance.

Differentiate between specific weight and specific volume:

• The particular weight (otherwise called the unit weight) is the weight per unit volume of a material.  
• Explicit gravity is the proportion of the thickness of a substance to the thickness of a reference substance; proportionately, it is the proportion of the mass of a substance to the mass of a reference substance for a similar given volume.
