However, I have an auxillary question ( this is my own ) : would the fact that this steam has more water vapour significantly affect it's relative density?

If a substance's relative density is less than one then it is less dense than the reference; if greater than 1 then it is denser than the reference.

Johannes also clarifies the concept of lightness in terms of relative density, in opposition to the Aristotelian concept of the absolute nature or quality of lightness as follows.
44.
This equation allows the relative density to be calculated from the change in displacement, the known density of the reference liquid, and the known properties of the hydrometer.

If the flask is weighed empty, full of water, and full of a liquid whose relative density is desired, the relative density of the liquid can easily be calculated.
46.
I do this : ( I think this may be over complicating things and I should just be doing something with relative densities but I can't think what ).

Measured by relative density, two-thirds of Massachusetts forest tree volume is " sawtimber " trees, those big enough to yield 12-and 8-foot-long pieces that can be milled into lumber.

If the flask is weighed empty, full of water, and full of a liquid whose relative density is desired, the relative density of the liquid can easily be calculated.

The reference material can be indicated using subscripts : " RD " substance / reference, which means " the relative density of " substance " with respect to " reference " ".

For a cylindrical impactor, by the time it stops, it will have penetrated to a depth that is equal to its own length times its relative density with respect to the target material.
