Densities of liquids

         Liquids have different densities.


         Density of liquids is measured by an instrument called a hy-

         drometer.


         The hydrometer makes use of Archimedes' principle: a solid

         suspended in a fluid is buoyed by a force equal to the weight of
         the fluid displaced by the submerged part of the suspended


         solid.
