To solve the problem of finding the relative density of the liquid, we can follow these steps: ### Step 1: Understand the concept of loss of weight When an object is immersed in a fluid, it experiences a loss of weight due to the buoyant force exerted by the fluid. The loss of weight can be calculated by subtracting the weight of the object in the fluid from its actual weight in air. ### Step 2: Calculate the loss of weight in the liquid The mass of the stone is given as 15.1 g, and its weight in the liquid is 10.9 gf. ...
