To find the relative density of a liquid, you need to compare its density to the density of water. The formula for relative density is the density of the liquid divided by the density of water at a specific temperature. By measuring the mass of a given volume of the liquid and comparing it to the mass of an equal volume of water, you can calculate the relative density.

A solid is 40 Newton when immersed totally in a liquid of relative density 0.8. calculate the weight when immersed in water?

The buoyant force acting on the solid in the liquid is 40 N, which is equal to the weight of the liquid displaced. The weight of the solid in water can be calculated by using the relative densities of water and the liquid (0.8) in the relation: weight in water = weight in liquid * (relative density of liquid / relative density of water).


Describe how you can determine the relative densities of liquids?

Water has a density of 1 g/cm3 , which means that for every cubic centimeter of water, it will weigh 1 gram (at normal atmospheric pressure and normal earth gravity) To find the density of a liquid, or in fact any substance, divide its weight by its volume.


How does the relative density bottle works?

A small bottle or flask used to measure the specific gravities of liquids; the bottle is weighed when it is filled with the liquid whose specific gravity is to be determined, when filled with a reference liquid, and when empty. Also known as density bottle; relative-density bottle.


If you place a solid in a liquid it will either sink or?

float, depending on its density relative to the density of the liquid. If the solid is denser than the liquid, it will sink. If the solid is less dense than the liquid, it will float.


What is the tool used to find the density of a liquid?

Hydrometer is used in batteries to measure density. A float tells you the density using displacement.

What is the formula to find relative density of liquids?

Density of liquid A, relative to liquid B = density of liquid A/density of liquid B. The temperatures and pressures for both liquids must be specified.Often the reference liquid (liquid B) is pure water at one atmosphere and room temperature (20 deg C). In that case, the ratio is also known as specific gravity.Density of liquid A, relative to liquid B = density of liquid A/density of liquid B.

Why is the hydrometer used to find density?

A hydrometer can be used to find the specific gravity (relative density) of a liquid by determining how much water it will displace. Various calibrations are used for different kinds of liquids.

Is density of a substance relative to water is called liquid gravity?

The term is correctly specific gravity (also relative density) which compares the density (typically in g/cm3) to that of water (which is practically 1 g/cm3).

Why does hydrometer is used to find the density of dock?

It is not used for this.A hydrometer is an instrument used to measure the specific gravity (or relative density) of liquids, NOT rock.To measure the density of a rock you weigh a piece of it in air, then measure the volume of water it displaces in a measuring jug.Density = mass/volume.
