Can you please explain the following question: A body floats in water with 2/3rd of its volume inside water. What is the the relative density ?

Expert Answer:
Dear student,
The mass of the body = mass of water it displaces
V = volume of body
Ρ = density of water
.. then mass of water displaced M = (2/3V x Ρ) kg
Density of body = M/V = (2/3VP)V = 2/3Ρ.. the body has a density 2/3 that of water -
.. it's relative density is 2/3 (relative to water)
Hope this helps.
Thankyou
