#527 / Fluids Easy

Consider a certain fluid has a density of 1,757 kg/m^3. What is its specific gravity?

Expand Hint
Specific Gravity, or Relative Density, is the ratio of a substance's density to a given reference material density.
Hint 2
The standard density of water is $$1,000\:kg/m^3$$ .
Specific Gravity, or Relative Density, is the ratio of a substance's density to a given reference material density. For liquids, water is commonly referenced.
$$$SG=\frac{\rho }{\rho_w}$$$
where $$\rho$$ is the fluid density and $$\rho_w$$ is the density of water at standard conditions (a constant).
$$$SG=\frac{1,757kg/m^3}{1,000kg/m^3}=1.757$$$
1.757
