🔍 Key Concepts

• Density is mass per unit volume • The common laboratory term for comparing a liquid’s density to water’s density • Difference between mass, volume, and weight based measures

💭 Think About

• Which property compares how heavy a liquid is to water when both have the same volume? • In science and seamanship, what single term is used to describe the ratio of a liquid’s density to that of water? • Which option is actually a standard term used in stability and cargo calculations on ships?

✅ Before You Answer

• Identify which choice is a widely used physical property name in maritime and engineering texts • Check which term is defined as a ratio (no units) relative to water • Eliminate any terms that mainly describe volume per mass or mass alone rather than a comparison to water
