Solution
When a body is completely immersed in water then it displaces an equal volume of water to its own weight.
So, the volume of the body = 20000 cm3.
Mass of body = 70 kg = 70000 gm
Density of body = mass /volume = 70000/20000= 3.5 gm cm-3.
Density of water in C.G.S system = 1g cm-3.
Relative density of body = density of body /density of water =3.5 gm cm-3/1g cm-3.
Relative density = 3.5.
