specific weight

what is the value of specific weight of water... in my book it says specif weight=density into value of g.
density of water is 62.4 lb/ft3
and gravity is 32ft/s2.

how to calculate S weight for water?
the answer in book is 62.4lb/ft3. how so... why is g neglected???

please guide

Seems like archaic phrases and units what exam spec is this for?

Specific gravity is used in brewing and distilling alcohol. Its the density of a liquid relative to the density of water And its measured with an instrument called a hydrometer which is a calibrated float.

I. E. Something with a specific gravity of 1.00 has the same density of water. Something with a specific gravity of >1.00 is more dense than water, in brewing this would be because it contained sugar.
