STANDARD Physics Relative Density MCQ Question
A piece of solid weights 120 g in air, 80 g in water and 60 g in a liquid. The relative density of the solid and that of the liquid are respectively
2, 1/2
3, 2/3
3, 1/2
2, 3/2
Correct Answer
Detailed Explanation
The relative density of solid is calculated as the weight in air divided by the loss of weight in water, which gives 3. The relative density of the liquid is calculated as the weight in air divided by the loss of weight in the liquid, which gives 1/2.
