Answer. The ratio between density of a substance and density of water is called relative density. Relative density =        Density of the substance/density of water at 40C  Units:  Relative density has no units because it is the ratio between the similar physical quantities (density

              Density   (Specific Gravity) Relative density i. Mass per unit volume of a substance is called density. ii. Density = mass/volume iii. SI unit of density is Kg/m3 CGS unit of density is g/cm3 i. The ratio between density of a substance and density of water is called relative density. ii. Relative density = Density of the substance/density of water at 40C iii. Units: Relative density has no units because it is the ratio between the similar physical quantities (density).
