...in air. Then say, as the difference of these remainders is to the weight of the lighter body in air, so is the specific gravity of water to the specific gravity of the lighter body. For example. A piece of wood weighs 15 pounds out of water, and a piece of copper weighing... | |

...and note the difference, which will be the weight lost in water; then, as the weight lost in writer is to the whole weight, so is the specific gravity of water to the specific gravity of the body. But if the body whose specific gravity is required is lighter than water, affix to it another body... | |
