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.
