उत्तर
We can find the relative density of a solid denser than water by following the experiment.
Weighing a solid in air and water
Find the weight (W1 gf) of a solid in the air using a hydrostatic balance.
Tie the solid firmly with a thread and suspend it from the hook. Lower the solid in water and find its weight.
Record the result as shown below:
Weight of solid in air = w1 gf.
Weight of solid in water = W2 gf.
The apparent loss of weight of solid = (W1 - W2 ) gf.
Relative density = W1/ (W1 - W2)
The relative density of the solid = (weight of solid in the air )/(Apparent loss of weight of solid in water).
