This experiment aims to determine the particle density or specific gravity of a solid material. Particle density is a physical property and is defined as the ratio of the mass of a substance to its volume. To find the specific gravity, the mass of the sample is measured using an analytical balance and its volume is measured by fluid displacement. The specific gravity is then calculated as the ratio of the sample's mass to its mass if it were completely replaced by an equal volume of water.
