A jeweller claims that he makes ornaments of pure gold that has a relative density of 19.3. He sells a bangle weighing 25.25 gf to a person. The clever customer weighs the bangle when immersed in water and finds that it weighs 23.075 gf in water. With the help of suitable calculations, find out whether the ornament is made of pure gold or not.

The relative density of pure gold is 19.3. When an ornament made of gold is immersed completely in water, the volume of the water displaced is 5 ml. If the mass of the ornament in air is 100 g, determine whether the ornament is made of pure gold.

A body weighs 500 gf in air and 300 g f when completely immersed in water. Find (a) the apparent loss in the weight of the body, (b) the upthrust on the body (c ) the volume of the body.

The specific gravity (or relative density) of gold is 19. Find the mass of a gold body that displaces 25cm^(3) of water when immersed in it.

A constant immersion hydrometer weighing 20 g sinks upto mark 'x' in water and this hydrometer has to weight 25 g to mark 'x' in a given liquid. Then the relative density of the liquid is ____.

A body weighs 550 gf in air and 370 gf in water when it is completely immersed in water. Find the volume of the body. (density of water = 1 g cm^(-3) )
