For the third table, the specific gravity of water
and alcohol were obtained by getting the
measurements using the hydrometer.
The
percent error we got are 5% for water and
5.8302% for the Denatured Alcohol. It was odd at
first because we know that the specific gravity of
water should be equal to 1. We believed that the
water might have been contaminated already.

DISCUSSION & CONCLUSION
In this experiment, we determined the density and
specific gravity of solids and liquids following
Archimedes principle. Density and specific gravity
of materials are unique on each object that makes
it as a tool in the identification of the material.
Density is equal to mass over volume. While,
specific gravity on the other hand is the ratio of
the density of the material with the density of the
