An object of weight Wand density p is dipped in dipped in a fluid of density `p_(1)`. Its apparent weight will be :

A

`W(p-p_(1))`

B

`W(1-(p_(1))/p)`

C

`((p-p_(1)))/W`

D

`W(p_(1)-p)`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
B
Apparent weight = True weight - weight of liquid displaced
`=W-W/p.p_(1)`
`=W(1-(p_(1))/p)`
So correct choice is (b)
