A motif is a recurring symbol which takes on a figurative meaning. We see them in books, films, and poems. In fact, almost every text commonly uses the literary device of the motif. A motif can be almost anything: an idea, an object, a concept, a character archetype, the weather, a color, or even a statement.
The Specific Gravity of liquids and solids is defined as a dimensionless unit which is the ratio of density of a material to the density of water at a given temperature, where density is defined as the materialâs mass per unit volume and is measured in kg/m 3.
A specific gravity scale developed by the American Petroleum Institute for measuring the relative density of various petroleum liquids, expressed in degrees. API gravity is gradated in degrees on a hydrometer instrument and was designed so that most values would fall between 10Â° and 70Â° API gravity. The arbitrary formula used to obtain this effect is: API gravity = (141.5/SG at 60Â°F) - 131.5, where SG is the specific gravity of the fluid.
