An escrow officer is the communication link for all. of the parties and the central place where buyers, sellers, real estate and mortgage. brokers, and lenders go for updates, answers, and problems. Finally, it is the escrow. officer's duty to ensure that all of the conditions of the escrow have been met before.
The SI unit for the specific weight is N/m 3 while the English unit is lb/ft 3. Specific gravity is simply the ratio of the specific weight of a given liquid to the specific weight of water at 4Â° C (Î³ water = 9.81 kN/m 3 or 62.4 lb/ft 3). This definition is helpful when comparing densities of different liquids.
The usage of specific gravity notation is useful in the metric system, where the density of water is typically taken as 1000 kilograms per meter cubed. Multiplying the specific gravity of a material by 1000 yields the density of the material in kilograms per meter cubed. Dividing 1000 by itself yields the specific gravity of water, which is one. The larger the specific density of a material, the more dense the material is than water. Specific density can be used to determine whether solids of different materials float or sink in water. If the material specific gravity is greater than one, it sinks in water.
