Expert Answer
Let V be the volume of the solid.
Given relative density of the liquid =0.8
Weight of the solid in air = 30 gf
Weigth of the solid in liquid = 26 gf
We know that the loss in weight of the solid when immersed in liquid = The weight of the liquid displaced. ----------(1)
Weight of the liquid displaced = Volume of the liquid displaced × Relative density of the liquid
= V × 0.8 -----------------------(2)
(2) in (1) gives:
Loss in weight of the solid when immersed in liquid = 0.8 V ----(3)
Loss in weight of the solid when immersed in liquid = (30 -26)gf = 4 gf
Substituting in (3) we get:
4 = 0.8 V
i.e V =4 /0.8 = 5 cm3
(1) Therefore the volume of the solid = 5 cm3
Density of the solid = Mass / volume
= 30 gf / 5 cm3
=6 g/cm3
(2) Relative density of the solid =Density of the solid / Density of water
= (6 g /cm3) /(1 g /cm3)
= 6 g/cm3
Relative density of the solid = 6 g/cm3
