Relative Density Formula Elements

Variables
Relative Density
Relative density is density of an object in terms of the density of another reference object.
Symbol: RD
Measurement: NAUnit: Unitless
Note: Value should be greater than 0.
Density
The 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.
Symbol: ρ
Measurement: DensityUnit: kg/m³
Note: Value should be greater than 0.
Water Density
The Water Density refers to the measure of how much mass is contained in a given volume of water. It is typically expressed in kilograms per cubic meter (kg/m³) or grams per cubic centimeter (g/cm³).
Symbol: ρwater
Measurement: DensityUnit: kg/m³
Note: Value should be greater than 0.

How to Evaluate Relative Density?

Relative Density evaluator uses Relative Density = Density/Water Density to evaluate 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 RD symbol.
