\(\large{ \gamma }\) (Greek symbol gamma) = specific weight | \(\large{\frac{lbf}{ft^3}}\) | \(\large{\frac{N}{m^3}}\) |
\(\large{ \rho }\) (Greek symbol rho) = density | \(\large{\frac{lbf}{ft^3}}\) | \(\large{\frac{kg}{m^3}}\) |
\(\large{ g }\) = gravitational acceleration | \(\large{\frac{ft}{sec^2}}\) | \(\large{\frac{m}{s^2}}\) |
