Solution

Step 1: Given Data

Mass of body 250g

Initial water level 20cm3

Final water level 60cm3

Step 2: Calculation of volume of body

Volume=changeinwaterlevel

Volume=60cm3-20cm3= 40cm3

Step 3: Calculation of Density of body in CGS and SI units.

Density=massVolume

Desnity=25040 g/cm3

=6.25g/cm3
Hence, the density of the body in CGS units is 6.25g/cm3.

Density in SI units =6.25x1000kg/m3

=6250kg/m3.

Hence, the density of the body in SI units is 6250kg/m3.
