How to make a liquid with specific gravity of 4 or 5?!
Specific gravity can be calculated by dividing the density of a substance by the density of water at 4 degrees Celsius. The result is a unitless number that represents the ratio of the substance's density to the density of water.
The formula for specific gravity is SG = ρ / ρwater, where SG is the specific gravity, ρ is the density of the substance, and ρwater is the density of water at 4 degrees Celsius.
To make a liquid with a specific gravity, you will need to know the specific gravity of the desired liquid and the specific gravity of the base liquid. You can then use the formula SG = ρ / ρwater to calculate the ratio of the two liquids and mix them accordingly.
Yes, you can change the specific gravity of a liquid by adding or removing substances with different densities. For example, adding a substance with a higher density will increase the specific gravity, while adding a substance with a lower density will decrease it.
The specific gravity of a liquid can affect its properties such as buoyancy, viscosity, and boiling point. Liquids with a higher specific gravity will be more buoyant, have a higher viscosity, and a higher boiling point compared to liquids with a lower specific gravity.
