A glass flask weighing 390 g, having internal volume 500cc just floats when half of it is filled with water. Specific gravity of the glass is

  1. A 2.8
  2. B 1.8
  3. C 1.0
  4. D 2.5
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) 2.8

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

If V is the volume of water displaced, then mass of water displaced is, m=ρwV Now, the mass of water displaced is equal to sum of mass of water in flask and mass of flask, therefore, ⇒ρwV=mflask+ρw5002⇒1×V=390+1×250⇒V=640 cm3…
