...from that of the heavier, and add the remainder to the weight of the former in air; we thua obtain the weight of a quantity of water equal in bulk to the lighter body, and by dividing the weight of the lighter body in air by this last-mentioned sum, the... | |

...result will be its specific gravity. The rationale of this process is very plain, for the last loss = the weight of a quantity of water, equal in bulk to the heavy and light bodies together; and the first loss = the weight of water, equal in bulk to the heuvy... | |

...deduct the weight of the flask, &c., as obtained after inserting the substance. The difference will be the weight of a quantity of water equal in bulk to the substance. It is then only necessary to divide the original weight of the substance by the number so... | |

...water, may be found by dividing its weight in air by what it weighs less in water. If W be its weight in air, and W its weight in water, then W — W is the expression for its loss of weight in water, and therefore for the weight of 'W an equal volume of water,... | |

...divided by the loss of weight in. water, is the specific gravity of the substance. If w be the weight in air, and w ' its weight in water, then w — w ' is its loss of weight, and Specific gravity = — , w - w'. A rough method of finding the specific gravity... | |
