weight flow rate = unit weight x Q here the process became weight flow rate = unit weight (SG) x Q

i do know that specific gravity is the ratio of density of fluid over density of water. what i am confused tho is why it is multiplied to the unit weight 9810 when it isn’t stated in the formula? i just want that part cleared up so i won’t be confused on future problems anymore thanks

i’m studying my textbook in hydraulics and i’d like to know the reason why specific gravity is used in one of the problems. it’s a pretty simple problem and i understood it mostly except why specific gravity is multiplied to 9810 (the unit weight of water). if the SG is given in the problem, is...
