It is called the specific gravity.
If the second substance if water, then it is specific gravity. Otherwise, it is just relative density.
An abstract, esoteric mathematical operation known as "division." Divide mass by density, and you get volume. A note for purists: Technically speaking, specific gravity is not density, it is a ratio of densities. However, since one of the materials in the ratio is water, and its density is well known, it's easy to calculate the density of a material from its specific gravity.
Objects sink when the density of the object is more than that of the water.
Density of liquid A, relative to liquid B = density of liquid A/density of liquid B. The temperatures and pressures for both liquids must be specified.Often the reference liquid (liquid B) is pure water at one atmosphere and room temperature (20 deg C). In that case, the ratio is also known as specific gravity.Density of liquid A, relative to liquid B = density of liquid A/density of liquid B.

specific gravity
It's called "specific gravity."
No, specific gravity is a unitless value that represents the density of a substance compared to the density of water. It is a ratio of the density of the substance to the density of water at a specific temperature.
That is called specific gravity
Specific gravity is a measure of how dense a substance is compared to the density of water. It is expressed as a unitless ratio and is used to compare the density of different materials.
It is called the specific gravity.
specific gravity
The term for the ratio of an object's density to that of water is specific gravity. It is a unitless value that helps determine whether an object will sink or float in water based on its density relative to water.
That is the specific gravity of the substance.
Specific gravity is a unitless quantity because it is a ratio comparing the density of a substance to the density of a reference substance (usually water).
An object will float in water if its density is lower than the density of water. This is because objects with lower density will displace an amount of water that weighs more than the object itself, resulting in buoyancy.
Density is a derived unit: mass divided by volume.
