Question

You are trying to determine the specific gravity of an unknown liquid. If m is the mass of a solid object, mL is the object's apparent mass in the unknown liquid, and mA is the apparent mass of the object in water, what is the formula for the specific gravity of the liquid?

Answer 1

Answer: S. G = m*V1 + mL*V2 + mA*V3 - m*V1

Explanation:

m = mass of solid object

mL = Object Apparent mass in an unknown liquid

mA = Apparent mass of object in water

V1 = volume of solid object

V2 = Volume of unknown liquid

V3 = Volume of water
