In one term appearing in the general form of the Navier-Stokes equation, the gradient of pressure is divided by this other physical property.
In one term appearing in the general form of the Navier-Stokes equation, the gradient of pressure is divided by this other physical property. The two elements of the periodic table with the highest value of this property are iridium and osmium, and this property is lower in ice than in liquid water. In equations, it is represented by the lowercase Greek letter rho, and for a given substance, the ratio of this property to that of water is called specific gravity. For 10 points, identify this physical property, defined as the mass of an object divided by its volume.
