an ice cube, with a relative density of about 0.91, will float. A substance with a relative density greater than 1 will sink.
Consider two different substances such as iron and cotton of same mass. It is observed that Iron will occupy less volume as compared to cotton. This is due to their differences in density. Density of Iron is more than that of cotton.

Relative density is the ratio of the density of a substance to the density of a standard, usually water for a liquid or solid, and air for a gas.
It can be used to find the below values:
- what is the mass of the liquid?
- what is the volume of the liquid?
- what is the density of the liquid?
- density helps us better understand how to transport fluids
