Mass is measured in kilograms, not weight. The mass of the furnace oil will be 0.9655 kg.

If you do not know the difference between weight and mass, consider the following: You have the same amount of material in you whether you are in earth, in mid space or on the moon. That is your mass. You also have a certain amount of weight on earth, which is the effect of the earth's gravitational force acting on your mass. On the moon, the gravitational force is only a sixth as strong and your weight will be only a sixth as much as on earth. In outer space, there may be no gravitational force in which case your weight will be 0. Thus your mass is something that is an intrinsic property of you (at least, of your body) while your weight is largely dependent on the gravitational force acting on you.

How do you calculate weight using specific gravity?

To calculate weight using specific gravity, you multiply the specific gravity of the substance by the weight of the substance in air. This gives you the weight of the substance in a vacuum.

What is the unit weight of soil with a specific gravity of 2.65?

The unit weight of soil with a specific gravity of 2.65 is 1.8 g/cc.


Compares weight of minerals with weight of an equal volume of water called?

The weight of a mineral is compared to the weight of an equal volume of water using a measurement called specific gravity. Specific gravity is the ratio of the weight of the mineral to the weight of an equal volume of water. Minerals with a specific gravity greater than 1 are heavier than water, while those with a specific gravity less than 1 are lighter.


The ratio of the weight of a given volume of a substance in a vacuum at a given temperature to the weight of an equal volume of water in a vacuum at a given temperature is known as?

This ratio is called the specific gravity.


Which type of measurement is affected by gravity?

The measurement of weight is affected by gravity.


What is the difference between apparent specific gravity and absolute specific gravity and bulk specific gravity?

Dry Bulk Specific Gravity does not take into account for anything getting into the permeable or impermeable voids of say a stone by water for instance. Saturated Surface Dry Bulk Specific Gravity takes into account for anything getting into the permeable voids only of say a stone by water. Apparent Specific gravity takes into account for the volume of the impermeable voids and not anything getting into the permeable voids of say a stone by water.


What is the differnce between density and specific gravity?

density is like weight and gravity is what pulls you to the ground density is what determines weight

Why sample has higher specific gravity?

A sample may have a higher specific gravity compared to other samples due to its composition of heavier materials such as metals or minerals. Specific gravity is a ratio of the weight of a substance to the weight of an equal volume of water, so materials with higher density will have a higher specific gravity.
