Properties Of Solids And Liquids Question 287

Question: A body of density d1 is counterpoised by Mg of weights of density d2 in air of density d. Then the true mass of the body is

Options:

A)M

B)M(1dd2)

C)M(1dd1)

D)M(1d/d2)(1d/d1)

Show Answer

Answer:

Correct Answer: D

Solution:

Let M0= mass of body in vacuum. Apparent weight of the body in air = Apparent weight of standard weights in air

Actual weight -upthrust due to displaced air = Actual weight-upthrust due to displaced air

M0g(M0d1)dg=Mg(Md2)dg

M0=M[1dd2][1dd1]
