Let the volume of wood=Vw
volume of metal=Vm
density of wood=dw
density of metal=dm
given,
Vwdw=10
Vmdm-Vm=4
total weight of wood & metal-total bouyant force=apparant weight of both when emerged
(Vwdw+Vmdm)-Vmx(density of water)-Vwx(density of water)=2
(Vwdw-Vw)+(Vmdm-Vm)=2
putting the values from prev given equation:
(Vwdw-Vw)+4=2
Vw-Vwdw=2
Vw=2+10=12c
dw=10/12=0.833g/cc
