True or false? the specific gravity of an object is numerically the same as its density

The specific gravity is also known as relative density.

It is calculated as the density of a material over the chosen reference density.

Usually the reference density is the water density at 4 °C, which is equal to 1 g/cm³.

If the reference density has a value of 1, the specific gravity will be numerically equal to the material density.

Therefore the answer is TRUE.
