Question

Weight of a solid in air is 10 newton and in water is 6 newton what is the relative density of solid

Answer 1

Answer:

2.5

Explanation:

Density of air is usually assumed to be zero. Here relative density is being calculated with respect to water.

Weight=mg

Relative density= (Ws/g) V ÷ (Ww/g) V

V and g are the same, so

R= Ws/Ww=10/4= 2.5
