What is the specific gravity of a material that has a density of 2500 kg/m3

Missing Word

Correct Answer

2.5

Explanation

The density of water is 1000 kg/m3

specific gravity = \(\frac{\text{density of material}}{\text{density of water}}\)

                         = \(\frac{\text{2500 kg/m}^3}{\text{1000 kg/m}^3}\)

                         = 2.5
