Determination of specific gravity by you-tube?

In: Science, Gravity [Edit categories]

Answer:

There are two categories. One if the liquid is miscible with water then mercury is needed. If the liquid in not immiscible with water then no need to have mercury.
The simple idea is the pressure at the same horizontal level would be the same.
Pressure in turn is got by the formula hdg. Here h the height of the liquid above the some reference level. d the density of the liquid. and g the acceleration due to gravity.
If suppose h_w is the height of water level and h_l is the height of liquid and d_w and d_l are the respective densities of water and liquid, then specific gravity or relative density d_l /d_w = h_w / h_l (g getting cancelled on both sides)

What is the difference between specific gravity and apparent specific gravity?
True specific gravity is the ratio of the density of a sample by the density of water, whereas apparent specific gravity is the ratio of the weights of equal volumes of sample and water in air.
Difference between specific gravity and true specific gravity?
Specific gravity is the ratio of the weight of the sample to the weight of the water. Where as true specific gravity is the ratio of the density of the material to the density of the water

What is the most significant determination of the specific gravity of urine?
Specific gravity is determined by the solutes in the urine - the less solutes, the lower the specific gravity. In normal urine, the solutes are ions such as ammonium.
