5. 
   hydrometer
   an instrument with a graduated stem, used to determine the gravity of liquids. The liquid to be measured is placed in a cylinder, and the hydrometer dropped into it. It floats at a certain level in the liquid (high if the liquid is light, low if it is heavy), and the stem markings indicate the gravity of the liquid.

   Hydrometer
   An instrument used for measuring the specific gravity of a liquid.A hydrometer consists of a glass volume with a weight at the bottom and a graduated scale on the stem.The hydrometer is gently lowered into a volume of liquid and allowed to settle. The reading is taken at the top surface of the liquid.This liquid is denser than the liquid in the nex...

   hydrometer
   An instrument for measuring the specific gravity of liquids. A hydrometer is a weight with a vertical scale attached. When placed into a liquid, the hydrometer bobs upright, and sinks to a certain level. The specific gravity or solution composition can be read from the liquid level on the vertical scale. Hydrometers are often calibrated in degrees...

    Hydrometer
    Image:Hydrometer6455.png A `hydrometer` is an instrument used for determining the specific gravity of liquids. It is usually made of glass and consists of a cylindrical stem and a bulb weighted with mercury or lead shot to make it float upright. The liquid is poured into a tall jar, and the hydrometer is gently lowered into the liquid until it floats freely. The point where the surface of the liquid touches the stem of the hydrometer is noted. H...
