Relative Density Solution

STEP 0: Pre-Calculation Summary

Formula Used

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

Variables Used

Relative Density - Relative density is a dimensionless quantity that describes the ratio of the density of a substance to the density of a reference material.
Density - (Measured in Kilogram per Cubic Meter) - Density is a measure of how much mass is contained in a given volume defined mass per unit volume of a given object.
Water Density - (Measured in Kilogram per Cubic Meter) - Water density is a measure of the mass of water per unit volume. It is typically expressed in grams per cubic centimeter (g/cm³) or kilograms per cubic meter (kg/m³).

STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit

Density: 997 Kilogram per Cubic Meter --> 997 Kilogram per Cubic Meter No Conversion Required
Water Density: 1000 Kilogram per Cubic Meter --> 1000 Kilogram per Cubic Meter No Conversion Required

STEP 2: Evaluate Formula

Substituting Input Values in Formula

R_D = ρ/ρ_w --> 997/1000

Evaluating ... ...

R_D = 0.997

STEP 3: Convert Result to Output's Unit

0.997 --> No Conversion Required

FINAL ANSWER

0.997 <-- Relative Density

< Refrigeration Parameters Calculators

Real Refrigerator

Go Real Refrigerator = Heat from Low Temperature Reservoir/Work

Dew Point Depression

Go Dew Point Depression = Temperature-Dew Point Temperature

Degree of Saturation

Go Degree of Saturation = Volume of Water/Volume of Voids

Relative Density

Go Relative Density = Density/Water Density

Relative Density Formula

Relative Density = Density/Water Density
R_D = ρ/ρ_w

Why is relative density dimensionless ?

Relative Density is dimensionless because it is a ratio of similar quantities.

How to Calculate Relative Density?

Relative Density calculator uses Relative Density = Density/Water Density to calculate the Relative Density, Relative Density formula is defined as the ratio of the density of a substance to the density of water. It provides insight into whether a substance will float or sink in water, indicating its buoyancy characteristics. Relative Density is denoted by R_D symbol.

How to calculate Relative Density using this online calculator? To use this online calculator for Relative Density, enter Density (ρ) & Water Density (ρ_w) and hit the calculate button. Here is how the Relative Density calculation can be explained with given input values -> 0.997 = 997/1000.

FAQ

What is Relative Density?

Relative Density formula is defined as the ratio of the density of a substance to the density of water. It provides insight into whether a substance will float or sink in water, indicating its buoyancy characteristics and is represented as R_D = ρ/ρ_w or Relative Density = Density/Water Density. Density is a measure of how much mass is contained in a given volume defined mass per unit volume of a given object & Water density is a measure of the mass of water per unit volume. It is typically expressed in grams per cubic centimeter (g/cm³) or kilograms per cubic meter (kg/m³).

How to calculate Relative Density?

Relative Density formula is defined as the ratio of the density of a substance to the density of water. It provides insight into whether a substance will float or sink in water, indicating its buoyancy characteristics is calculated using Relative Density = Density/Water Density. To calculate Relative Density, you need Density (ρ) & Water Density (ρ_w). With our tool, you need to enter the respective value for Density & Water Density and hit the calculate button. You can also select the units (if any) for Input(s) and the Output as well.
