The density of sandstone is very variable as it is a natural earth material. As such, a range of densities are quoted in the literature and testing should be done on a specific sample to get an exact result.
Range of intact densities for sandstone:A
1770 - 2580 kg/m3
In imperial units:
110.5 lbs/ft3 to 161.1 lbs/ft3

The density of sand will vary depending on the type and what condition the sand is in. The density of individual granules of rock is approximately 2.7 to 3.3g/ml.

We don't talk about the density of sand paper. We only distinguish between Commercial and Industrial grades.
There are three main components to sandpaper; the abrasive grit, the backing material, and the bonding agents. Industrial grade sandpaper uses higher quality components as well as tighter manufacturing tolerances.
Abrasive Grit - Industrial grade sandpapers use abrasive grit material that is stronger and less likely to break down or wear out. Higher quality grits are often very finely graded to ensure consistency.
No, relative density is relative to water. Therefore, oil with a relative density of 0.9 is 90% the density of water. Which is why oil floats on top of water. Put both in a glass to see.
When you add water to sand, the volume and mass of the mixture will increase. The density of the mixture will depend on the ratio of sand to water added, but generally, the density will be lower than that of pure sand due to the lower density of water compared to sand.
That depends on the type and grade of the sand
The weight of a jar full of sand will depend on the size of the jar and the density of the sand. On average, sand has a density of about 1.5 grams per cubic centimeter, so you can estimate the weight by calculating the volume of the jar and multiplying it by the density of the sand.
Relative density is the ratio of the density of a substance to the density of a given reference material.If a substance's relative density is less than one then it is less dense than the reference; if greater than 1 then it is denser than the reference. If the relative density is exactly 1 then the densities are equal
the relation between relative density and density is that relative density of a substance is its density itself without its unit.
DENSITY : density is the ratio of mass and volume of the substance density=mass/volume RELATIVE DENSITY : It is the ratio of density of a substance to the density of water
The relative density of an object is determined by comparing its density to the density of water. It is calculated by dividing the density of the object by the density of water. If the relative density is less than 1, the object will float in water; if it is greater than 1, it will sink.
To find the relative density of a liquid, you need to compare its density to the density of water. The formula for relative density is the density of the liquid divided by the density of water at a specific temperature. By measuring the mass of a given volume of the liquid and comparing it to the mass of an equal volume of water, you can calculate the relative density.
Density is a measure of how much mass is contained in a given volume of a substance, while relative density is the ratio of the density of a substance to the density of a standard substance (usually water). Relative density is a dimensionless quantity used for comparison purposes.
Relative density
The relative density in water refers to how dense a substance is compared to water. If the relative density is greater than 1, the substance will sink in water. If the relative density is less than 1, the substance will float in water.
The ratio of thee density of a substance of the density of a standard , usually water for a liquid or solid and aur for a gas. The SI unit of relative density is g/ m3
Density is a measure of how much mass is contained in a given volume of a substance, while relative density compares the density of a substance to the density of a reference substance (usually water). Relative density is dimensionless and is often used to identify substances or determine their purity based on their comparison to a standard substance.
Relative density, is also called specific gravity, and it is the ratio of the density (mass/volume) of a substance to the density of a particular reference substance, usually water. So, where density has the units of mass/volume, relative density (specific gravity) is unitless.
The relative density of a substance is the ratio of its density to the density of some standard substance. The standard substance for solids and liquids is water. Thus for solids or liquids: Relative density = denisty of substance (kg/m3) / density of water (kg/m3) Relative density therefore has no units, it is a number, and indicates only how many times more dense the substance is than water. The relative density of water is 1 or 1000 kg/m3.
Relative density, also known as specific gravity, is the ratio of the density of a substance to the density of a reference substance. For aluminum, its relative density is approximately 2.7, meaning it is 2.7 times denser than water.
