Question

The reading of a spring balance when a block is suspended from it in air is 60 N. This reading is changed to 40 N when the block is submerged in water. The specific gravity of the block must therefore be:

Easy

A

B

2
C

6
D

3/2

Solution

Specific gravity of block $= \frac{W_{A}}{W_{A} - W_{w}} = \frac{60}{60 - 40} = 3$
