Question

A solid has a mass of 200g in air and when partly immersed in a certain liquid it has a mass of 160g. Given that the relative density of the liquid is 0.80. calculate the volume of the solid immersed in the liquid

Answer 1

Answer:

250 cm3 is the answer

Explanation:

relative density = density of solid/density of liquid

(apply this formula you get the density of solid)

relative density =0.80

density of liquid=1

density of solid = 0.8

put the formula of buoyant force and get the volume
