...liquids. Tlius on weighing a solid body, first in air and then in water (as described in process 1.), the weight of a volume of water equal to the volume of the solid substance employed, is ascertained ; and if this be repeated, using the same solid body, but... | |

...weighing a second time, we strain the quantity of water that has been displaced; or, in other words, the weight of a volume of water equal to the volume of the granules. By way of illustration, let us determine the specific gravity of platinum granules as they... | |

...to say, the weight in air is divided by the loss of weight in water, which latter is obviously the weight of a volume of water equal to the volume of the immersed body, and the quotient gives us the weight of the latter in terms of the weight of an equal... | |
