Specific gravity | Fluids | Physics | Khan Academy

In this video David explains what specific gravity means. He also shows how to calculate the value for specific gravity and use it to determine the percent of an object that will be submerged while floating. Created by David SantoPietro.

Physics on Khan Academy: Physics is the study of the basic principles that govern the physical world around us. We'll start by looking at motion itself. Then, we'll learn about forces, momentum, energy, and other concepts in lots of different physical situations. To get the most out of physics, you'll need a solid understanding of algebra and a basic understanding of trigonometry.
About Khan Academy: Khan Academy offers practice exercises, instructional videos, and a personalized learning dashboard that empower learners to study at their own pace in and outside of the classroom. We tackle math, science, computer programming, history, art history, economics, and more. Our math missions guide learners from kindergarten to calculus using state-of-the-art, adaptive technology that identifies strengths and learning gaps. We've also partnered with institutions like NASA, The Museum of Modern Art, The California Academy of Sciences, and MIT to offer specialized content.

This is how things should be taught: no padding, just gives the information needed, visually when helpful, and follows a logical progression, a thread, with each point building on (and refreshing) the last point. Very well done. If only all teachers, online or no, knew how to teach like this.

[@deannascozycorner]

what a straight forward video, thanks!!

[@snjdhzhzdjsjx4408]

Lol yea everything except straight forward

[@bwibwi5]

I'm so used to the old school videos, the music here totally just spiced up my life for a good three minutes. Thanks!

[@freedomlovinfool2485]

The very best video on specific gravity on youtube. Perfect video!

[@AhmedMagdy-or5nm]

wow, I didn't see explanation like that in my life. ♥

[@onigari]

Wow this was the most straight forward video I have ever seen in my life. He said nothing, literally NOTHING out of topic and he explained the specific gravity perfectly. Great job brother

[@ryansalvia8394]

hours of lecture never explained specific gravity as good as this video did

[@sammemon6017]

Thank you!!! I've never understood specific gravity. Even as a current nursing student, I've never had anyone explain it to me as clearly as you have. Phenomenal job!!

[@ivan.seafarers]

Thank you a lot for perfect explaining I've ever heard.

[@natashabarnes5473]

Specific gravity for dummies! Just what I needed lol Thank you for this video :)

[@estebanvicencio893]

natasha Barnes i thought the same as you lol

[@hommoudalsubaie6239]

all stupid people think that too.

[@etcm915]

I was lost on what Specific Gravity is. This video helped a lot!

[@sockcritics]

My god sir thank you. It’s not that the book isn’t explaining it in text but these visuals and your to the point examples helped me tremendously

[@Tamima1122]

The vedio was uploaded 8 years ago but it is helpful today and in future 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

Beautifully explained!!! Thank you so much :)

[@thisishow2085]

Well explained. Easy to understand. Thank you so much :) you help me a lot.

[@thumelani4]

Best video on specific gravity on RUclips thank you man

[@zalzalahbuttsaab]

Excellent. I'm glad I watched this video first because in the next video in the playlist, the commentator confused weight with mass - and she has a degree in pharmacology! I really appreciated the visual nature of the video because I am a visual thinker. I also appreciated the everyday items used because that helped me to get a grasp of the concept of specific gravity from my own, everyday perspective. Overall, this was an awesome video.

[@a.k2767]

Very amazing explanation.

[@hommoudalsubaie6239]

great simple and fantastic explanation .thanks too much

[@varunmangal9993]

mans really just pulled out his gold chain to flex on all of us.... im deaddd

[@adnanahmadknowledgevideo]

This is one of the best explanation on Specific Gravity.
This 3 minutes and 10 seconds worth my time

[@guthulakiranvasu5043]

excellent explanation.In the previous days i used to confuse but this video made me clear

[@ibrahimhafez7885]

So easy to understand ...thanks alot

well explained

[@racingraaz6418]

Best explanation, thank you so much

[@mislulu8366]

great explanation!!!! Thanks

[@balkaransingh3114]

if specific gravity of an ethyl alcohol is 0.87
then what does that mean
I mean if we have a liquid instead of solid box

[@therigidperson4079]

Straight Away Subscribed to the channel. Khan academy's Awesome! Thank you so much ❤

[@azuraa5864]

thanks for well explained teaching

[@adrianj9695]

This is so perfect.

[@farwakhan6725]

Best ever explanation in simple words....thanks

[@santhaptj4857]

Even I had seen many useful and more interesting science concepts in youtube, I could say this is the most beautifully explained video and this video kept me in somewhat like seeing a suspense movie.

[@johnwick8114]

Straight to the point video . Loved it

[@CADable]

I have a question that if wood has specific gravity of 2.5 whether its weight will be increased 150% after submerge

[@gloxlove]

exactly what I was looking for! thanks!

O God thank you so much!! now I feel alive ohhhh

[@PHYSICSGuna]

EXCELLENT SIR

[@chrisatronx]

If we're using SG in relation to the density of air. Say, I have a gas with an SG of 0.4 in air. Does that mean that 40% of that gas will be trapped in the air at a certain altitude or does it still rise but with a slower rate of ascension?

[@piyushsahu4040]

Straight forward 😌😌😌

[@5Youssif]

teach the earlier hydrostatic videos please david
