Introduction
This experiment is about measurement of some important liquids property like Density , specific gravity and viscosity .
The density or more precisely, the volumetric mass density, of a substance is its mass per unit volume.
=
The Specific gravity is the ratio of the density of a substance to the density of a reference substance; equivalently, it is the ratio of the mass of a substance to the mass of a reference substance for the same given volume. Apparent specific gravity is the ratio of the weight of a volume of the substance to the weight of an equal volume of the reference substance like water .
The viscosity of a fluid is a measure of its resistance to gradual deformation by shear stress or tensile stress .
Objectives To determine the density , specific gravity and viscosity of some liquids (i.e. Engine Oil , Glycerol and Castor Oil ) at atmospheric pressure and temperature .

Where :
FB : Buoyant force on the hydrometer ( upward ) W : Weight of the hydrometer , ( upward )
Ɣ w : Specific weight for water . o:
Submerged volume of hydrometer in water .
∆ : The increase or the decrease of volume of immersion as hydrometer is placed in a liquid other than water .
When the same hydrometer is placed in other liquid the law will be : Ɣ L ( o ± ∆ ) – W = 0
Then the equation will be : Ɣ L ( o ± ∆ ) – Ɣ w o = 0 Ɣ Ɣ

Material & Equipment Universal hydrometer 3 hydrometer jars Liquids : engine oil , glycerol and castor oil 3 different diameter spherical steel balls Stop watch Scale
Procedure Firstly measure the diameter of the balls ; but in our experiment we use measured balls . Measure path in the jars by scale and lets use 30 cm and mark it .
Put the hydrometer in the liquid slowly until its stop then read the number on the scale . Take out the hydrometer and clean it to repeat measuring again . Do this steps for all liquid in the jars .
In the first part of this experiment _ Density and Specific Gravity _
In the second part of this experiment _ Viscosity _
Dropping balls in the jars and calculate the time it takes to passing in its path Repeat this step for each liquid and record results . Finally measure the temperature and air presser .

Discussions In this experiment we can calculate viscosity for three liquids by simple steps Viscosity for liquids AVG : Engine oil = 0.23 pas.sec Glycerol = 0.40 pas.sec Castor oil = 0.93 pas.sec
This property tell us how the movement is easy or how energy we need to lose when this liquid flow . Also this property reflect very important value its renold number , and from this number we can know if the flow laminar or turbulent . Engine oil and Castor oil less than water this mean just Glycerol will Drown in water Engine oil = 882 kg/m 3 Glycerol = 1246 kg/m 3 Castor oil = 957 kg/m 3 The experiment density of glycerol is 1246 kg/m 3 and theoretically is 1260 kg/m3 so we have some error density maybe it's come from height temperature because of summer. To improve the techniques I think the lab need for new machine because we already have error when measuring the time so we need another way to doing this step .
Conclusions
The result was
Specific gravity for the liquids :
Density for the liquids : Engine oil = 882 kg/m 3 Glycerol = 1246 kg/m 3 Castor oil = 957 kg/m 3
In high viscosity liquid like Castor oil , ball needs more time to reach to the bottom of liquid jar. From these liquids and our results I think the highest specific gravity has highest density and highest viscosity. As we see the castor oil has highest viscosity but Engine oil have the lower value
This experiment tell us that Glycerol denser than Engine oil and Castor oil
