A body of mass 50g is weighed in water and then in a liquid of unknown density. If the apparent masses in water and liquid are 46g and 45.5g respectively. Find the density of the body and the density of the liquid

Answer 1

the body displaces (50 - 46) g of water
... the volume of the body is 4 cm^3

the density of the body is ... 50 g / 4 cm^3

the density of the liquid is ... (50 - 45.5) g / 4 cm^3
