Question

A stone of mass 400g,when immersed completely in water displaces 250cm3 of water. The relative density of the stone is

Answer 1

the relative density of the stone is 160

Answer 2

Answer:

Density, $d=1.6\ g/cm^3$

Explanation:

It is given that,

Mass of the stone, m = 400 g

Volume displaced, $V=250\ cm^3$

Let d is the density of the stone. The total mass divided by volume displaced is called the density of the stone. Mathematically, it is given by :

$d=\dfrac{m}{V}$

$d=\dfrac{400\ g}{250\ cm^3}$

$d=1.6\ g/cm^3$

So, the density of the stone is $1.6\ g/cm^3$. Hence, this is the required solution.
