at the bottom, but one for liquids heavier than waterhas the zero at the top. Why?(3) Another method for find-ing the specific gravity of abody, and the one generallyused if the body is irregular inshape, is to weigh the body inair, and then in water. Thedifference represents the weightof the water… … Figure 307.—The Hydrom-eter. 19 - 12 =displaced. 19 7 7 grams, wt. of water 2.71 = sp. gr. (4) Other cases: (a) If the body is lighter than water, asinker must be used; but the principle is similar. (b) If the object is soluble in water, it can be weighed in aliquid in which it is not soluble, but…
