start with known values Specific gravity = 1.0 for water weight = 100 pounds 100pounds/8.36 pounds per gallon = 11.96 gallons ------------------------------------ Specific gravity = 1.5 for unknown liquid weight = 100 pounds 100pounds/ (8.36 pounds per gallon of water * 1.5) = 7.97 gallons At least that's how I wuold do it....

∙ 14y agoIn the English System, you multiply the volume in ounces by the specific gravity and get ounces in weight. In the metric, you multiply the ml by the density and get the grams.

What is the difference between specific gravity and density?
Relative density, or specific gravity, is the ratio of the density (mass of a unit volume) of a substance to the density of a given reference material. Specific gravity usually means relative density with respect to water.
What compares weight of minerals with weight of an equal volume of water?
Specific gravity
What compares weight of mineral with weight of an equal volume of water?
Specific gravity
The ratio of the weight of a substance to the weight of an equal volume of water at 4c is its?
Specific gravity.
The ratio of the weight of a given volume of a substance in a vacuum at a given temperature to the weight of an equal volume of water in a vacuum at a given temperature is known as?
This ratio is called the specific gravity.
How to Find Volume when given mass and specific gravity of a mineral mass 2851.2g specific gravity 4.2 what is volume?
weight = mass * gravitational constant. Newtons (weight) = kg * m / sec^2 for instance.
What are 6 different properties of fluids?
Density, Viscosjty, pressure, specific weight, specific gravity, specific volume
What is the density specific volume and volume of an object that weighs 3 lb in water and 4 lb in oil with specific gravity 0.83?
Specific gravity of oil=[Weight of object-Weight in oil]\[Weight of object-Weight in water] Take weight of object as X 0.83=x-4\x-3 X=8.882lb Specific gravity of object= X/X-3 =1.51 Density=1510kgm-3 Volume=Mass\Density Volume=4.0288\1510=0.002668m3 If there is anything wrong please let me know.Thank you!
How do you calculate weight of solid metal rectangle?
Areaxheight=volume weight=specific gravityxvolume. Specific gravity of the metal= kg/lt(ccm)
This is expressed as the weight of a mineral compared with the weight of an equal volume of water?
This is the specific gravity of the mineral. It's a comparison of how much mass a given volume of it has compared to the mass of an equal volume of water.
What is the formula for calculating weight if density and volume are given?
Weight = (density) times (volume)The definition of density is mass/volume .Now [ weight = mass x gravity ], so [ mass = weight/gravity ], and [ density = weight/gravity x volume ] .So Weight = (density) x (volume) x (gravity)
Convert density to weight?
Basically you need more information. You can use the following formulae: density = mass / volume weight = mass x gravity
