A body has density 9.6 gcm -3. Its density in SI system is:
Options
96 kgm-3
960 kgm-3
9600 kgm-3
96,000 kgm-3

Solution
9600 kgm-3
Explanation:
Density = 9.6 g cm-3
`= 9.6/10^3 xx 10^6` kgm-3 = 9600 kgm-3

A jeweller claims that he makes ornaments of pure gold that has a relative density of 19.3. He sells a bangle weighing 25.25 gf to a person. The clever customer weighs the bangle when immersed in water and finds that it weighs 23.075 gf in water. With the help of suitable calculations, find out whether the ornament is made of pure gold or not.
[Hint : calculate R.D. of material of bangle which comes out to be 11.6].
