Question

(b)A solid weighs 80 gf in air and 72 gf when completely immersed in water and .
density of solid in si unit

Answer 1

Answer:

GIVEN,

i took some other values since the question was incomplete

Given, weight of solid in air = 30 gf and weight of solid in liquid = 26 gf., R.D of liquid = 0.8

Therefore, Density of liquid = 0.8 g cm-3

(i) Let V be the volume of the solid.

Weight of liquid displaced = Volume of liquid displaced xdensity of liquid x g

                                         = V 0.8g dyne

                                        = V 0.8 gf

Loss in the weight of the solid when immersed in the liquid = 30 - 26 = 4gf

But the weight of liquid displaced is equal to the loss in weight of the solid when immersed in liquid.

Therefore, Vx0.8 = 4 or V =  = 5 .

(ii) Given, weight of solid = 30gf

Therefore, Mass of solid = 30 g

Density of solid =  

Hence relative density of solid = 6
