What is the formula to measure the relative density of a solid or a liquid in g.f
Answers
Answer:
If the relative density is exactly 1 then the densities are equal; that is, equal volumes of the two substances have the same mass. If the reference material is water then a substance with a relative density (or specific gravity) less than 1 will float in water.
Explanation:
Relative density (R.D) of a substance can be calculated by dividing density of a substance with the density of water. For example, Thus, Relative density of iron is 8.5 (No unit is applied). Density of a substance can be calculated by multiplying Relative Density (R.D.) of the substance with the Density of water.
The density is directly related to the mass of the object (unit: usually in grams but can be measured in kilograms or pounds), so the specific gravity can also be determined by dividing the mass of the object by the mass of the water
