Solution

The correct option is B

$W_{1}$ = mg $[1 - \frac{d_{1}}{D}]$ = W $[1 - \frac{d_{1}}{D}]$ .........(a)

Similarly, $W_{2}$ = mg $[1 - \frac{d_{2}}{D}]$ = W $[1 - \frac{d_{2}}{D}]$ .........(b)

and $W_{3}$ = mg $[1 - \frac{d_{3}}{D}]$ = W $[1 - \frac{d_{3}}{D}]$ .........(c)

Using (a) , (b) & (c) we obtain

$W_{3}$ = $\frac{W_{2} (d_{3} - d_{1}) - W_{1} (d_{3} - d_{2})}{d_{2} - d_{1}}$

A body weighs W1 in a liquid of density d1 and W2 in a liquid of density d2. What is the weight in a liquid of density d3?

The correct option is B W1 = mg [1−d1D] = W[1−d1D] .........(a) Similarly, W2 = mg [1−d2D] = W[1−d2D] .........(b) and W3 = mg [1−d3D] = W[1−d3D] .........(c) Using (a) , (b) & (c) we obtain W3 = W2(d3−d1)−W1(d3−d2)d2−d1
