A solid, lighter than water is found to weigh 7.5 gſ in air, when tied to a sinker, the combination is found to weigh
62.5 gr. If the sinker alone weighs 72.5 gf'in water, find R.D. of solid.

Answer:
Hence R.D of solid is 0.428
Explanation:
Weight of solid in air = 7.5 gf
" " sinker in water = 72.5 gf
" " sinker in water + weight of solid in air
= 72.5 + 7.5 = 80.0gf -----(i)
Weight of solid in water + weight of sinker in water = 62.5gf ------(ii)
Subtract eqn (ii) from eqn (i)
weight of solid in water - weight of solid in water
= 80 - 62.5 = 17.5 gf
therefore R.D of solid =
weight of solid in air / weight of solid in air - weight of solid in water
= 7.5/17.5
Answer: 0.428
