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.
the blood stays the same in water Blood has a specific gravity slightly greater than water: 1.0621. Blood will sink very slowly. http://www.clinchem.org/cgi/content/abstract/20/5/615
"Specific gravity" or "specific density"
Specific gravity doesn't have units. It's the density relative to water, so specific gravity is effectively just a number.
The specific gravity of water is unity. Anything with a specific gravity which is over unity will therefore sink in water.
The specific gravity of water is unity. Anything with a specific gravity which is over unity will therefore sink in water.
The specific gravity of water is unity. Anything with a specific gravity which is over unity will therefore sink in water.
The specific gravity of water is unity. Anything with a specific gravity which is over unity will therefore sink in water.
If the specific gravity is greater than one it will sink.
Anything with overall specific gravity greater than 1.0 sinks in water.
it is important because it helps determine what the mineral you are looking for is
S.G. of water = 1.0 Floating, S.G. < 1.0, Submerging, S.G. > 1.0.

Of course. Heavy water ice will sink in light water.
Anything greater than ' 1 '.
An object will sink if its density - or its specific gravity - is greater than that of the fluid it is placed in.
