Find the weight of solid in a liquid of density `0.9 "g cm"^(-3)`

Text Solution

AI Generated Solution

To solve the problem, we will follow these steps: ### Step 1: Find the Volume of the Solid The volume of the solid can be determined using the principle of buoyancy. The weight of the solid in air minus the weight of the solid in water gives us the weight of the water displaced, which is equal to the weight of the volume of water displaced. Weight of solid in air = 32 gf Weight of solid in water = 28.8 gf ...
