It does not refer to the lack of weight under gravity experienced in free fall or orbit‚ or to balancing the force of gravity with some other force‚ such as electromagnetism or aerodynamic lift. Anti-gravity is a recurring concept in science fiction. In Newton’s law of universal gravitation‚ gravity was an external force transmitted by unknown means. Under general relativity‚ anti-gravity is impossible

Specific gravity What is specific gravity? Archimedes discovered that the weight of body in air minus its weight in water is equivalent to the weight of the water displaced by the body. Specific gravity is defined as "The weight of a body compared with the weight of an equal amount of pure water at 4°C (4°C is the temperature at which water is densest). When a body is placed in water‚ the volume of water displaced is equal to the volume of the body. When the body is placed in water that it
