The weight of a body in air is 50 N. When the same body is weighed in water its weight decreases by 5N. Calculate the density of the given body.

Explanation

To find the density of the given body, we can follow these steps:

### Step 1: Understand the forces acting on the body
The weight of the body in air (W_air) is given as 50 N. When the body is submerged in water, its weight decreases by 5 N due to the buoyant force (F_buoyancy). Therefore, the weight of the body in water (W_water) can be expressed as:
\[ W_{water} = W_{air} - F_{buoyancy} \]
Substituting the values:
...
