a glass stopper weights 40 grams in air . when immersed in water, it appeared to weight 25 grams . find the relative density of the stopper
Answers
Answer:
I think 10 gram is the relative density
Answer:
Given, Mass of glass stopper in air
= 40 g
Weight of glass stopper in air = m×g
= 40 × 9.8 = 392 N
Mass of glass stopper in water = 25 g
Weight of glass stopper in water = m × g
= 25 × 9.8 = 245 N
Weight of water displaced =
Weight of glass stopper in air - Weight
of glass stopper in water
=> Weight of water displaced
= 392 N - 245 N
=>Weight of water displaced = 147 N
Relative Density of glass stopper =
Weight of glass stopper in air / weight
of water displaced
=> R. D. of glass stopped = 392 N / 147 N
=> R. D of glass stopper = 2.67
