Relative Density: The relative density of a substance is the ratio of its density to that of water.
Relative density of a substance =
In other words, we can say that,
Relative density of a substace
Since, the relative density is a ratio of similar quantities, so it has no unit.
The relative density of a substance expresses the heaviness (or density) of the substance in comparison to water. By saying that relative density of iron is 8.7, we mean that iron is 8.7 times heavy as an equal volume of water.
Note Density of water is
The relative density of a substance is found accurately by using Archimedes principle.
Example: A solid of mass 600 g has volume . Then,
Solution: Given, mass of solid, m = 600 g
Volume of solid,
(i) Density of solid
Therefore, density of solid =
(ii) The solid will displace water equal to its own volume, which is . So, it will displace of water.
Density of water is . Hence, from the formula,
i.e.
= 450 g
Therefore, the mass of water displaced is 450 g.
(iii)
Therefore, the relative density of solid is 1.33.
(iV) Since, the relative density of this solid (1.33) is greater than that of water (1), therefore this solid is heavier than water and hence it will sink in water.

It was good as the experience because as we had come here we had been improved in a such envirnment created here.Extra is taught which is beneficial for future.
My experience was very good with Abhyas academy. I am studying here from 6th class and I am satisfied by its results in my life. I improved a lot here ahead of school syllabus.
Abhyas Methodology is very good. It is based on according to student and each child manages accordingly to its properly. Methodology has improved the abilities of students to shine them in future.
I have spent a wonderful time in Abhyas academy. It has made my reasoning more apt, English more stronger and Maths an interesting subject for me. It has given me a habbit of self studying
My experience with Abhyas is very good. I have learnt many things here like vedic maths and reasoning also. Teachers here first take our doubts and then there are assignments to verify our weak points.
My experience with Abhyas academy is very good. I did not think that my every subject coming here will be so strong. The main thing is that the online tests had made me learn here more things.
It has a great methodology. Students here can get analysis to their test quickly.We can learn easily through PPTs and the testing methods are good. We know that where we have to practice
Abhyas is a complete education Institute. Here extreme care is taken by teacher with the help of regular exam. Extra classes also conducted by the institute, if the student is weak.
Being a parent, I saw my daughter improvement in her studies by seeing a good result in all day to day compititive exam TMO, NSO, IEO etc and as well as studies. I have got a fruitful result from my daughter.
About Abhyas metholodology the teachers are very nice and hardworking toward students.The Centre Head Mrs Anu Sethi is also a brilliant teacher.Abhyas has taught me how to overcome problems and has always taken my doubts and suppoeted me.
