No that is incorrect. When the density of an object is compared to the density of water it is called the Relative Density and no units are specified, since the value obtained is a ratio. Specific Density is expressed in units such as Kilograms per cubic metre or grams per cubic centimetre and does not refer to the density of water. It is worth noting however that the density of water at normal temperatures is very close to 1000 Kilograms per cubic metre, or 1 gram per cubic centimetre, so the numeric values of Relative Density and Specific Density are very nearly the same.
Specific gravity is the ratio of the density of a substance to the density of a reference substance, typically water. It is a unitless number that indicates how much denser or lighter a substance is compared to water. A specific gravity less than 1 indicates that the substance is less dense than water, while a specific gravity greater than 1 indicates that the substance is denser than water.
The ratio of the density of a substance to the density of water is called specific gravity. It is a unitless quantity that compares the density of a substance to the density of water at a specific temperature.
An object that floats in water has a specific gravity less than 1, indicating that its density is less than that of water. An object that completely submerges in water has a specific gravity greater than 1, indicating that its density is higher than that of water.
A streak is the color left behind when a mineral is scratched on a white ceramic plate, indicating its powder color. Specific gravity, on the other hand, is the ratio of the density of a substance to the density of a reference substance, typically water, and is used to identify minerals based on their weight.
Gravity is the force that keeps objects with mass from floating away. Mass is the amount of matter in an object. Density is how tightly packed the matter in an object is. Volume is the amount of space an object occupies. Weight is the force of gravity acting on an object's mass.
Object B will displace more water because it has a higher density compared to object A. Displacement of water is determined by the density of the object, not its mass.
The object's density is compared to the density of water using a ratio known as specific gravity. It is calculated by dividing the density of the object by the density of water. If the specific gravity is greater than 1, the object will sink in water; if less than 1, it will float.
Perhaps you mean "specific gravity". That refers to an object's density, compared to the density of a reference subtance (usually water). For example, if iron has 8 times the density of water, then its specific gravity is said to be 8.
Specific gravity is a measurement that compares the density of an object to the density of water. It tells you how much heavier or lighter an object is compared to an equal volume of water.

Specific Gravity.
specific gravity
That is the specific gravity of the substance.
The number that compares an object's density to the density of water is called specific gravity. It is a unitless quantity representing the ratio of the density of a substance to the density of water.
That is called specific gravity
It is called the specific gravity.
The term for the ratio of an object's density to that of water is specific gravity. It is a unitless value that helps determine whether an object will sink or float in water based on its density relative to water.
The ratio of the density of a substance to the density of water is called specific gravity. It is a unitless quantity that compares the density of a substance to the density of water at a specific temperature.
