In air an object weighs 15N, when immersed in water it weighs 12N, when immersed in another liquid, it weighs 13N, Calculate the density of the object and that of the other liquid?
M1 = 15/g = 15/9.8 = 1.53 kg = mass of object in air. M2 = 12/9.8 = 1.22 kg = mass of object immersed. M1-M2 = 1.53-1.22 = 0.31 kg lost by object = mass of water displaced. ... Do = 4.94 g/cm^3 = density of object.
