Answer 1

Answer:

hey!!

here is your answer...

A body floats in water with 40% of its volume outside of the water. When this body is kept in oil, it floats with 60% of its volume remaining outside of the oil. When the relative density of oil is K/2, what is the value of K?

Since the body is 60% submerged in water, it's density has to be 0.6 g/cc

Since the body remains 40% submerged in oil, the density of oil has to be 0.6/0.4=1.5 

Relative density = 1.5/1.0 = 1.5 = 3/2

hope it helps!
