Question

A solid of density 900kg/m3 floats in oil . The oil floats on water of density 1000kg/m3. What is the the density of oil in kg/m3

Answer 1

$<h6>$when a solid having density of 900 kg/m3 floats on oil and the same oil floats on water of density 1000kg/m3 means, the sollid also is going to float on the water due to relative density difference as solid is lighter than water and relative density is 99 kg/m3 / 1000 kg/m3 , that is 0.9 so we can infer that density of oil has to be in the intermediate range within density of 900 kg/m3 to 1000 kg/m3, means its density has to be more than 900 kg/m3 and less than 1ooo kg/m3
