Answer (Detailed Solution Below)
Detailed Solution
Download Solution PDFSpecific gravity (S):
Specific gravity is defined as the ratio of the density of the fluid to the density of the standard fluid
\(Specific\, gravity\, (S)={Density\, of\, fluid\over Density\, of\, standard\, fluid}={Specific\, weight\, of\, fluid\over Specific\, weight\, of\, standard\, fluid}\)
Therefore, the dimensional formula of specific gravity is M0L0T0.
We know that:
The density of water (ρ) = 997 kg/m3 or 0.997 kg/lit
\(Specific\, gravity\, of\, water (S_W)={Density\, of\, water\over Density\, of\, water}={0.997\, Kg/lit\over 0.997\, Kg/lit}\)
The specific gravity of water (SW) = 1
Also, we know that the density of mercury is 13600 kg/m3 or 13.6 kg/lit
The specific gravity of mercury (SM) =13.6
