Question

Relative density of silver is 10.8. the density of water is 1000 kg per meter cube. What is the density of silver?[1 marks]​

Answer 1

Relative density is the ratio of the density of a substance to the density of water. It is also known as specific gravity.

Here, in this case

Relative density = Density of silver/Density of water

10.8 = density of silver/10³ kgm³

Density of silver = 10.8 × 10³ kgm³ or 10800 kgm³

Answer 2

The relative density of silver is 10.8, and the density of water is 10³ kg/m³. What is the density of silver in an SI unit?
