When a body lighter than water is completely submerged in water, the buoyant force acting on it is found to be `n` times its weight. The specific gravity of the material of the body is

A

`(1)/(1+n)`

B

`(1)/(n)`

C

n

D

`n+(1)/(n)`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
B
`Vrho_(w)g=nmg`
`rArr rho_(w)g=nrho_(B)Vg rArr S.G=(rho_(B))/(rho_(w))=(1)/(n)`
