Density has dimensions - for instance grammes per cubic centimetre. Relative density is dimensionless - it is a density compared to another density - it is a dimensionless ratio. Normally the ratio is based on water, which has a density of 1g/cm3, so density and relative density are usually the same number - one with units, one without.
: Mathematically: :: where: :: ρ is the density, :: m is the mass, :: V is the volume. Different materials usually have different densities, so density is an important concept regarding buoyancy, metal purity and packaging. In some cases density is expressed as the dimensionless quantities specific gravity (SG) or relative density (RD), in which case it is expressed in multiples of the density of some other standard material, usually water or air/gas.
relative density methane
Relative density is determined by the ratio of the density of a substance to the density of a reference substance.
DENSITY : density is the ratio of mass and volume of the substance density=mass/volume RELATIVE DENSITY : It is the ratio of density of a substance to the density of water
Correct: it is a dimensionless number.
Relative permeability is dimensionless
Density has dimensions - for instance grammes per cubic centimetre. Relative density is dimensionless - it is a density compared to another density - it is a dimensionless ratio. Normally the ratio is based on water, which has a density of 1g/cm3, so density and relative density are usually the same number - one with units, one without.
Atomic weight, which is the mean relative mass and is dimensionless.
the relation between relative density and density is that relative density of a substance is its density itself without its unit.
Relative density is a scalar (dimensionless) value. It is a unit-less number. Relative density is the numerical ratio of the density of a given material compared to a standard, which is the density of water. So a relative density of 3 would indicate a material whose mass for a given volume is three times as great as the mass of an equal volume of water.

relative density is related to the density of water. i.e. a relative density of 19.3 means that it has a density 19.3 times the density of water. The density of water is 1g/ml therefore the density of gold is 19.3g/ml
