Specific weight of liquids in Fluid Mechanics Formulas

The Specific weight of liquids is also known as the unit weight, is the weight per unit volume of the liquid. For Example - Specific weight of water on Earth at 4°C is 9.807 kN/m3 or 62.43 lbf/ft3. And is denoted by y_liquid. Specific weight of liquids is usually measured using the Newton per Cubic Meter for Specific Weight. Note that the value of Specific weight of liquids is always negative.
