A body weight \(50 \mathrm{~g}\) in air and \(40 \mathrm{~g}\) in water. How much would it weight in a liquid of specific gravity \(1.5\) ?

  1. A \(30 \mathrm{~g}\)
  2. B \(35 \mathrm{~g}\)
  3. C \(65 \mathrm{~g}\)
  4. D \(45 \mathrm{~g}\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) \(35 \mathrm{~g}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Weight of body in air, \[ m_{1}=50 g=5 \times 10^{-2} \mathrm{~kg} \] Weight of body in water, \[ m_{2}=40 \mathrm{~g}=4 \times 10^{-2} \mathrm{~kg} \] Buoyant force on the body,…
