उत्तर
Let densities of water, wood and spirit are ρ, ρw and ρs respectively.
Let A be the area of the wooden block.
Total volume of the wooden block is, V = 15A
1. Mass of wood = Mass of water displaced by the wood
Vρwg = A×10×ρ×g
ρw = `(A xx 10 xx ρ xx "g")/(15 xx A xx "g") = 0.67` g/cm3
2. Mass of the wood = Mass of then spirit displaced
Vρwg = A×12×ρs×g
ρs = 0.83 g/cm3
