The relative density of a metal may be found by hanging a block of the metal from a spring balance and noting that in air the balance reads ( 5.00 ± 0.05) N while in water it reads ( 4.00 ± 0.05)N. The relative density would be quoted as:

a
( 5.00 ± 0.05)
b
5.00 ± 11%
c
( 500 ± 0.10)
d
5.00 ± 6%

detailed solution

Correct option is B

RD=W1W1-W2=55-4=5 loss of wt=W1-W2=5-4±0.05+0.05=1±0.1 Δρρ×100=0.055+0.11.00×100=11%
