What is the difference between density and specific gravity

1 answer:

4 0

Density is defined as mass per unit volume. It has the SI unit kg m-3 or Kg/m-3 and is an absolute quantity. Specific gravity is the ratio of a material's density with that of water at 4 °C (where it is most dense and is taken to have the value 999.974 kg·m-3). It is therefore a relative quantity with no units.

You perform the Hooke's Law experiment and create a plot of Displacement vs. Force. You add a linear fit and find the following

balandron [24]

Answer: 0.192 N/m

Explanation:

Well, generally when a Hooke's Law experiment is performed the plot is in fact Force vs Displacement, being the Force (in units of Newtons) in the Y-axis and the Displacement (in units of meters) in the X-axis.

In addition, if we add a linear fit the resultant equation will be the Line equation of the form:

$Y=mX+b$
