A certain block weights `22` N in air . It weights `17` N when immersed in water. When immersed in another liquid it weights `18` N . Density of other liquid is `800 "kg m"^(-3)` .
Calculate the relative density of the block .

A

`5`

B

`4.4`

C

`5.5`

D

`3`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
B
Relative density
`=("Weight of solid in air")/("Weight of solid in air- Weight of solid in water")`
Relative density of block = `(22N)/(22 N-17 N)=(22)/(5)=4.4`
