उत्तर
| Sr. No. | Density | Relative density |
| 1. | It is the ratio of mass to volume. `D = ("Mass")/("Volume") = m/V` |
It is the ratio of the density of a substance to the density of water. |
| 2. | Units are g cm−3 or kg m−3 | It is a pure quantity. It has no units. |
| 3. | Density in kg m−3 = R.D × 1000 | R.D. = Density in g cm−3 `R.D. = ("Density in kg cm"^-3)/1000` |

What is the unit of relative density?
Differentiate between thrust and pressure.
The pressure of water on the ground floor is 40,000 Pa and on the first floor is 10,000 Pa. Find the height of the first floor. (Take : density of water = 1000 kg m-3, g = 10 m s-2)
Describe an experiment to show that a body immersed in a liquid appears lighter than it really is.
It is easier to lift a heavy stone under water than in air. Explain.
You are provided with a hollow iron ball A of volume 15 cm3 and mass 12 g and a solid iron ball B of mass 12 g. Both are placed on the surface of water contained in a large tub.
- Find upthrust on each ball.
- Which ball will sink? Give a reason for your answer (Density of iron = 8.0 g cm-3)
Select the correct option:
When a body is wholly or partially immersed in a liquid, it experiences a buoyant force which is equal to:
Consider the statement given below and choose the correct option.
Assertion: Water strider slides easily on the surface of the water.
Reason: Water strider experiences less buoyant force.
If the buoyant force is less, the object will float.
Salt water provides less buoyant force than freshwater.
