A body is suspended by a light string. The tensions in the string when the body is in air, when the body is totally immersed in water and when the body is totally immersed in a liquid are respectively 40.2 ~N , 28.4 ~N and 16.6 ~N . The density of the liquid is
Options
- A1200 ~kg - m ^ - 3
- B1600 ~kg - m ⁻³
- C2000 ~kg - m ⁻³
- D2400 ~kg - m ⁻³
Correct answer
C. 2000 ~kg - m ⁻³
Step-by-step solution
Density of water-Density of air T_ water -T_ air Density of liquid-Density of water T_ liquid -T_ water Now, from given values, T_ water -T_ air =T_ liquid -T_ water Air density =1 ~kg / m ^3 and water density =1000 ~kg / m ^3 So, liquid density 2000 ~kg / m ^3
