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.
In more general terms specific gravity is the ratio of the density of a material to that of any standard substance, although usually this is water at 4 degrees Celsius or 39.2 degrees Fahrenheit. By definition, water has a density of 1 kg per litre at this temperature. The specific gravities of gases usually are compared to dry air which generally has a density of 1.29 g per litre. The specific gravity of all other materials is compared to water as a fraction heavier lighter or heavier density.
