Solution

The correct option is D
Weight of solid in air = 100 gf
Weight of solid in water = 90 gf
Weight of water displaced = up thrust = 100 gf − 90 gf = 10 gf
Volume of the solid = Volume of water displaced
$= \frac{Mass of water displaced}{Density of water}$
$= \frac{10 \times 10^{- 3} k g}{(1000 k g / m^{3})}$
$= 10 \times 10^{- 6} m^{3}$
