Density of paraffin wax (d) = 800 kg/m³
Density of body (d’) = 9000 kg/m³
Weight in paraffin wax = Weight in air[ 1 - d / d’ ]
= 60 N × [1 - 800 / 9000]
= 54.67 N
Weight in paraffin wax is 54.67 N
Density of body (d’) = 9000 kg/m³
Weight in paraffin wax = Weight in air[ 1 - d / d’ ]
= 60 N × [1 - 800 / 9000]
= 54.67 N
Weight in paraffin wax is 54.67 N
