Question

The specific gravity of a substance is defined as the ratio of its density to the density of water. The density of steel is 487 pounds per cubic foot and the density of water is 62.4 pounds per cubic foot. Calculate the specific gravity of steel.​

Answer 1

≈ 7.8

Explanation:

Specific gravity of steel = Density of steel / Density of water

Density of steel = 487 pounds per cubic foot

Density of water = 62.4 pounds per cubic foot

Specific gravity of steel = 487 / 62.4

Specific gravity of steel ≈ 7.8

Therefore, the specific gravity of steel is approximately 7.8.
