Two bodies are in equilibrium when suspended in water from the arms of a balance. The mass of one body is 36 g and its density is 9 g / cm3. If the mass of the other is 48 g, its density in g / cm3 is
Apparent weight
where m = mass of the body,
density of the body
density of water
If two bodies are in equilibrium then their apparent weight must be equal.
By solving we get .
