What is the difference of relative density versus density?

Absolute versus relative densityDensity is mass per unit volume. To determine an object's density (absolute), simply divide its mass by its volume. For example, 1000 kilograms of water occupies one cubic meter. We can therefore say that water's density is 1000 kilograms per cubic meter (kg/m3), which equals one kilogram per liter (kg/L), which also equals one gram per milliliter (g/mL). Now, let's say you have some other substance that also occupies one cubic meter but weighs 2000 kilograms. It has a density of 2000 kg/m3. In other words, relative to water, the substance is twice as dense as water. Now you have an idea of what relative density is.If we use water as a reference, we can compare other substances' densities to the density of water. Simply divide the substance's absolute density by the absolute density of water to get the relative density of the substance (relative to water). Relative density is a unit-less quantity; it is just a number. If a substance is denser than water, its relative density will be greater than one. If it's less dense than water, it will have a relative density less than one.Relative density is also known as Specific Gravity.

What is the unit of density and unit of relative density?

The unit of density is kilograms per cubic meter (kg/m^3) or grams per cubic centimeter (g/cm^3). The unit of relative density, also known as specific gravity, is dimensionless as it is the ratio of the density of a substance to the density of a reference substance (typically water).

What is the Relationship between relative density and density?

the relation between relative density and density is that relative density of a substance is its density itself without its unit.


What is the difference between density amd specific gravity?

Density is defined as the mass per unit volume. Hence its unit is SI system is kg/m3 But specific gravity other wise known as relative density is defined as the ratio of the density of the substance to that of water. So no unit for specific gravity. Density of water is 1000 kg/ m3 Density of mercury is 13,600 kg /m3 Hence specific gravity or relative density of mercury is 13.6
