A piece of wax weight 18.80 g wt in air....

A piece of wax weight `18.80 g wt` in air. A piece of metal is found to weight `17.03 g wt` in water. It is tied to the wax and both together weight `15.23 g `, in water . Find the sp. Gravity of wax.

Text Solution

AI Generated Solution

To find the specific gravity of the wax, we will follow these steps: ### Step 1: Understand the given weights - Weight of wax in air (W_wax) = 18.80 g wt - Weight of metal in water (W_metal_water) = 17.03 g wt - Combined weight of wax and metal in water (W_combined_water) = 15.23 g wt ### Step 2: Calculate the buoyant force acting on the metal ...
