It needs to be less than the medium in which you float it. Numbers can only be assigned if you specify the conditions and substances.
less then 1
No. It exceeds the density of water.
The specific gravity of water is unity. Anything with a specific gravity which is over unity will therefore sink in water.
Gold, because of it's high specific gravity (19.3) will sink. Specific gravity is the indicator of how many times heavier than the same quantity of water.
Yes. That's what specific gravity is all about - the comparison of the density of a material to that of an equal volume of water. If a material or substance has a specific gravity equal to that of water, its specific gravity (sometimes called "spee gee" by the chemists) is 1. If it is more dense, say twice as dense as water, its spee gee will be 2. If the spee gee of a substance, in this case a mineral, is less than 1, it is less dense than water and will float. There may be a few exceptions for porous materials, but this is the rule.
If the specific gravity is greater than one it will sink.
If the specific gravity is less than 1, the product will float in water. [SSD1, M4 exam]
If the specific gravity is less than 1, the product will float in water ... unless it dissolves in water or reacts with water, which information might be elsewhere in the SDS.
If the specific gravity is less than 1, the product will float in water. [SSD1, M4 exam]
If the specific gravity is less than 1, the product will float in water. [SSD1, M4 exam]
If the specific gravity is less than 1, the product will float in water. [SSD1, M4 exam]
specific gravity is defined as the ratio of the density of the sample/the density of water. So the specific gravity of water is 1. Anything more dense than water will have a specific gravity above 1 and will sink. Anything less dense than water will have a specific gravity below 1 and will float.
less then 1
An object will sink if its density - or its specific gravity - is greater than that of the fluid it is placed in.
The specific gravity of a product can be found on the material
No. It exceeds the density of water.
because without gravity we would all float around and mabie float into space... It would kill us because without gravity we would all float around and mabie float into space... It would kill us
