A hydrometer is used for measuring the specific gravity of any given liquid. Normally, a hydrometer is comprised of a narrow stem and a heavy bulb, to justify the principle of floatation. The heavy bulb displaces certain amounts of liquid on placing the hydrometer in it.

Answer:A hydrometer usually consists of a sealed hollow glass tube with a wider bottom portion for buoyancy, a ballast such as lead or mercury for stability, and a narrow stem with graduations for measuring. ... The point at which the surface of the liquid touches the stem of the hydrometer correlates to relative density.
