Question
A piece of stone of mass 113 g sinks to the bottom in water contained in a measuring cylinder and water level in cylinder rises from 30 ml to 40 ml. Calculate R.D. of stone.

Solution
Mass of stone = 113 g
Rise in water level = (40 - 30) ml = 10 ml
This rise is equal to the space occupied (volume) by the stone .
∴ volume of stone = 10 cm-3
Density of stone in C.G.S. = `"Mass"/"Volume" = 113/10 = 11.3` gcm-3
R.D. = 11.3
