A body when fully immersed in a liquid of specific gravity 1.2 weighs 44gwt . The same body when fully immersed in water weighs 50gwt . The mass of the body is
A) 36g
C) 64g
D)80g
B) 48g
The correct option (d) 80g
Explanation:
Balancing equation W =mg−Vρg
Hence, 44=m−1.2V .....(i)
50=m−V .....(ii)
On solving Eqs. (i) and (ii)
we get m=80g
