Best Answer

You just need a container (cup, jar, bottle etc. it doesn't matter what size it is) and a weight scale.

1. Weigh the container empty. The weight is c.

2. Fill with water and weigh it. The weight is w.

3. Fill to the same level with milk and weigh it. The weight is m.

The specific gravity of milk is (m - c) / (w - c)

Ideally the milk and the water are at the same temperature.

The largest container will give a more accurate result assuming you have enough milk to fill it.

Why specific gravity increases in case of skimmed milk?

The specific gravity of skimmed milk is greater than that of whole milk because because cream is lighter than milk, thus removing it makes the remaining liquid heavier per unit of volume. As a liquid's weight per unit of volume increases its specific gravity increases.
