The ratio of the difference between the void ratio of a cohesionless soil in the loosest state and ay given void ratio to the difference between its void ratios in the loosest and densest states.
The mass of a volume of a substance, relative to the mass of the same volume of water. Another name for Relative Density is Specific Gravity. 1 cubic centimetre (cc) of water weighs 1 gram. The Relative Density of water is 1. 1cc of gold weighs 19.3 grams. Its Relative Density is 19.3.
Mass of a unit volume of a particular substance
The ratio of the density of a specific substance to the density of another substance which is used as a standard.
Relative density (also known as specific gravity) is a dimensionless ratio of the densities of two materials. It can help quantify the buoyancy between two materials, or determine the density of one "unknown" material using the "known" density of another material.
