Answer

$$S G =0.775 $$ $$\gamma=7602.72 \frac{N}{m^{3}}$$

Work Step by Step

Start from definition of Specific Gravity $(\mathrm{SG}):$ $$ \begin{aligned} S G &=\frac{\rho_{f}}{\rho_{H_{2} O}} \\ S G &=\frac{775}{1000} \frac{\frac{k g}{m^{3}}}{\frac{k g}{m^{3}}} \\ S G &=0.775 \end{aligned} $$ since $\mathrm{SG}$ in this case is an dimensionless quantity. $$\gamma=\rho_{f} \cdot g$$ $$\gamma=775 \frac{k g}{m^{3}} \cdot 9.81 \frac{m}{s^{2}}$$ $$\gamma=7602.72 \frac{N}{m^{3}}$$ Remember, $$N=\frac{k g \cdot m}{s^{2}}$$
