#2. Bernoulli's equation for frictionless, incompressible gases states that...
#3. What is the weight of one litre of unleaded petrol? ("Mogas")
The specific gravity of petrol, and avgas, is 0.72, which means that 1 litre weighs 0.72kg
The specific gravity of water is 1, which is why 1 litre of water conveniently weighs 1kg
