Relative Density of Fluid Solution

STEP 0: Pre-Calculation Summary

Formula Used

Relative Density = Density/Density of Water
RD = ρ/ρ_w
This formula uses 3 Variables

Variables Used

Relative Density - Relative density is density of an object in terms of the density of another reference object.
Density - (Measured in Kilogram per Cubic Meter) - Density of a material shows the denseness of that material in a specific given area. This is taken as mass per unit volume of a given object.
Density of Water - (Measured in Kilogram per Cubic Meter) - Density of Water is the weight of the water per its unit volume, which depends on the temperature.

STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit

Density: 0.390476 Kilogram per Cubic Meter --> 0.390476 Kilogram per Cubic Meter No Conversion Required
Density of Water: 997 Kilogram per Cubic Meter --> 997 Kilogram per Cubic Meter No Conversion Required

STEP 2: Evaluate Formula

Substituting Input Values in Formula

RD = ρ/ρ_w --> 0.390476/997

Evaluating ... ...

What is Fluid Mechanics?

Fluid dynamics is “the branch of applied science that is concerned with the movement of liquids and gases”. It involves a wide range of applications such as calculating force & moments, determining the mass flow rate of petroleum through pipelines, predicting weather patterns, understanding nebulae in interstellar space, and modelling fission weapon detonation.

What are the Applications of Fluid Dynamics?

Fluid Dynamics can be applied in the following ways: Fluid dynamics is used to calculate the forces acting upon the aeroplane. It is used to find the flow rates of material such as petroleum from pipelines. It can also be used in traffic engineering (traffic treated as continuous liquid flow).

How to Calculate Relative Density of Fluid?

Relative Density of Fluid calculator uses Relative Density = Density/Density of Water to calculate the Relative Density, The Relative Density of Fluid formula is defined as the ratio of density of substance to the density of water. It is a dimensionless quantity because it is the ratio of two similar quantity which have the same units. Buoyancy (the ability of an object to float in water or air) is intimately related to specific gravity. If a substance has specific gravity less than that of a fluid: it will float on that fluid, If a substance has specific gravity greater than that of a fluid: it will sink in that fluid. Relative Density is denoted by RD symbol.

How to calculate Relative Density of Fluid using this online calculator? To use this online calculator for Relative Density of Fluid, enter Density (ρ) & Density of Water (ρ_w) and hit the calculate button. Here is how the Relative Density of Fluid calculation can be explained with given input values -> 0.000392 = 0.390476/997.

What is Relative Density of Fluid?

The Relative Density of Fluid formula is defined as the ratio of density of substance to the density of water. It is a dimensionless quantity because it is the ratio of two similar quantity which have the same units. Buoyancy (the ability of an object to float in water or air) is intimately related to specific gravity. If a substance has specific gravity less than that of a fluid: it will float on that fluid, If a substance has specific gravity greater than that of a fluid: it will sink in that fluid and is represented as RD = ρ/ρ_w or Relative Density = Density/Density of Water. Density of a material shows the denseness of that material in a specific given area. This is taken as mass per unit volume of a given object & Density of Water is the weight of the water per its unit volume, which depends on the temperature.
