उत्तर
Given:
Density of wood, ρw = 0.8 gm/cc
Density of lead, ρpb = 11.3 gm/cc
Weight of the cubical wood block, mw = 200 g

The cubical block floats in water.
Now,
(mw+ mpb) × g = (Vw + Vpb)ρ × g
Here,
ρ = Density of water
Vw = Volume of wood
Vpb = Volume of lead
\[\Rightarrow ( \text{m}_\text{w} + \text{m}_{\text{pb}} ) = \left( \frac{\text{m}_\text{w}}{\rho_\text{w}} + \frac{\text{ m}_{\text{pb}}}{\rho_{\text{pb}}} \right)\rho\]
\[ \Rightarrow (200 + \text{m}_{\text{pb}} ) = \left( \frac{200}{0 . 8} + \frac{\text{m}_{\text{pb}}}{11 . 3} \right) \times 1\]
\[ \Rightarrow \text{m}_{\text{pb}} - \frac{\text{m}_{\text{pb}}}{11 . 3} = 250 - 200\]
\[ \Rightarrow \frac{10 . 3 \text{m}_{\text{pb}}}{11 . 3} = 50\]
\[ \Rightarrow \text{m}_{\text{pb}} = \frac{50 \times 11 . 3}{10 . 3} = 54 . 8 \text{ gm }\]
