A ship with cargo sinks by x when she goes into a river from the sea. She discharges cargo and proceding again to sea, she rises by z. if the sides of the ship be assumed to be vertical to the water, show that relative density of sea water is `y/(z-x+y)` , assuming relative density of river water to be 1 .
