Okay but what about the off chance you’re measuring something other than water?
- dguest 5mo agoEstimate as water and fudge it a bit. Conveniently the fudge factor is just the specific gravity and is already tabulated as such in a lot of fields. But it turns out that water is a pretty good bet most of the time: - Settled snow is around 0.25 - Dried wood is around 0.5 - Soil is around 1.2 - Rock is around 2.5 Which is pretty good if you want to answer "how much does that truck / ship / mountain / lake weigh?". Of course there are some anomalies: Tungsten is around 20, but it's not like imperial units help here, and the name literally translates to "heavy rock".
