A certain block weighs 15 N in air. But ...

A certain block weighs 15 N in air. But is weighs only 12 N when completely immersed in water. When immersed completely in another liquid, it weighs 13 N. Calculate the relative density of (i) the block and (ii) the liquid.

A

`5,(2)/(3)`

B

`(2)/(3),5`

C

`(4)/(5),5`

D

`5,(4)/(5)`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
1

RD of body `R.D.=(W_("air"))/(W_("air")-W_("water"))`
RD of liquid `=(W_("air")-W_("liquid"))/(W_("air")-W_("water"))`
