The relative density of a substance is the ratio of its density to the density of some standard substance. The standard substance for solids and liquids is water. Thus for solids or liquids: Relative density = denisty of substance (kg/m3) / density of water (kg/m3) Relative density therefore has no units, it is a number, and indicates only how many times more dense the substance is than water. The relative density of water is 1 or 1000 kg/m3.

What is a formula used to calculate relative density?
The relative density of a substance X, relative to a substance Y isDensity of X/Density of Y= (Mass of X/Volume of X) / (Mass of Y/Volume of Y)If Y is water then the relative density is called the specific gravity.
What happens when you copy a formula with relative cell references?
The relative addresses will change as the formula is copied.
How can you find volume?
you get volume by dividing mass by density or by achimedes/relative density method
The formula for finding density is?
Density = mass / volume
Formula in finding the density?
density = mass / volume
