...the standard is less than 1, and of a body heavier, more than 1. When a body is immersed in water, it is buoyed up by a force equal to the weight of the water which it displaces. A floating solid displaces its own weight of water. TABLE, SHOWING THE SPECIFIC...

...of water. This is easily done, since, according to the law of Archimedes, a body immersed in water is buoyed up by a force equal to the weight of the water displaced ; ie, it loses in weight an amount equal to that of the same bulk of water. Hence spec. grav. = weight...
