Question

a solid weighs 5N in air, 4N in water and 4.5N in some other liquid. fund specific gravity of the liquid

Answer 1

The specific gravity of the liquid is 0.5

1. The formula for specific gravity of the liquid is
2. specific gravity of the liquid = (weight lost of the solid in liquid /weight lost of the solid in water )
3. specific gravity of the liquid= (5 - 4.5)/(5-4)
4. specific gravity of the liquid = 0.5/1 =0.5
