    S. G. or specific gravity is the ratio of the density of an object to a fluid. It also is the fraction of the object's volume that would be submerged if the object were placed in the fluid. (note: if S. G.>1, the object will sink)

    S. G. = density (wood) / density (water)

    2/3 = density (wood) / 1000

    density (wood) = 2000/3 kg/m^3 = ~666.67 kg/m^3

    S. G. = density (wood) / density (oil)

    9/10 = 2000/3 / density (oil)

    density (oil) = 2000/3 / 9/10 = 20000/27 kg/m^3 = ~740.74 kg/m^3
