A solid weighs 50 gf in air and 45 gf when completely immersed in water. Calculate (i) upthrust (ii) volume of the solid (iii) relative density of the solid.

Question

Philoid · Accepted Answer

Given,
weight in air=50 gf
weight in water=45 gf
(i) Upthrust=loss in weight of solid when completely immersed in water=50-45=5 gf
(ii)Volume of the solid=volume of water displaced by the solid
Now,
volume of water displaced= 5×10^-6 m³
(iii)

A solid weighs 50 gf in air and 45 gf when completely immersed in water. Calculate(i) upthrust(ii) volume of the solid(iii) relative density of the solid.
