7.85*10^3/9.81*10^3 = 0.8.

Specific weight of oil/specific weight of water.

I) SPECIFIC WEIGHT OF WATER = 9.81 KN/m3.

7.85 /9.81 = 0.8 unit less.

Specific Wt=wt /unit volume
= w/v= mg/v.

We can say m/v *g and that is = rho(p)* g
Given, oil specific wt (pg)=7.85 KN/m^3.
And we have specific gravity= sp.wt of the liquid/sp.wt of pure water at 4°c.
So, specific Wt. Of water =9.81kN/m^3.
And the and is 7.8/9.81=0.79=>0.8(unitless).

Specific weight=ρ*g=7.85*100.

=>ρ=(7.85*1000)/9.81=800.
Sp.gravity=density of oil/density of water,
=800/1000=0.8.
