प्रश्न
A solid lighter than water is found to weigh 7.5 gf in air. When tied to a sinker the combination is found to weigh .If the sinker alone weighs 72.5 gf in water, find R.D. of solid.

उत्तर
Weight of solid in air = 7.5 gf
Weight of sinker in water = 72.5 gf
Wt. of sinker in water + Wt. of solid in air
= 72.5 + 7.5 = 80.0 gf …(1)
Wt. of solid in water + Wt. of sinker in water = 62.5 gf …(2)
Subtract eq. (1) from eq. (2)
Wt. of solid in air – Wt. of solid in water = 80- 62.5 = 17.5 gf.
∴ R.D. of solid = `"Weight of solid in air"/("Wt. of solid in air" - "Wt. of solid in water")`
`= 7.5/17.5 = 0.428`

A jeweller claims that he makes ornaments of pure gold that has a relative density of 19.3. He sells a bangle weighing 25.25 gf to a person. The clever customer weighs the bangle when immersed in water and finds that it weighs 23.075 gf in water. With the help of suitable calculations, find out whether the ornament is made of pure gold or not.
