Paul Nicholson, that’s precisely what the test measures. In medicine, specific gravity measures the concentration of particles (waste products/salts) in urine compared to pure water. You don’t get to decide something isn’t real because you don’t like it. This urine test has been used since 1849, and you’ve almost certainly had it done on your pee.

Steve Kemp, depends on where you are some places have speed limits over that it's 85 in parts of Texas

If you're going 80 miles per hour, it would take linger than 30 minutes to go 40 miles as you'll be pulled over for speeding.

No idea which number a specific president is. Also not too interested in state capitals.

Cheryl Love, No it does not as it is the ratio of the density of something to the density of water. As it is a ratio the density units cancel out.

William Laughlin, thank you.

Specific gravity has units of measurement in medicine, in measuring concentration of solutes in urine.

Lisa Grindall, Yeah, 3 of the 15 questions have an American association that no one else in the world could possibly know! • That one about FDR is difficult; equivalent to knowing Churchill was Britain's Prime Minister during WWII. • Knowing that Harrisburg is the capital of Pennsylvania is as tough as knowing the capital of a country 70 times smaller such as Liechtenstein is Vaduz. • Knowing specific ordinal numbers of presidents is equally difficult for Americans. But don't get me wrong; I really feel your pain. Where can we send donations?
