Question

How can I find the Relative Density of a solid whose density is lower than that of water by Archimedes Principle ?

Answer 1

Dear Student

When object has relative density lower than that of water, it will float in water. Calculate weight of water displaced by it. It can be done by placing object in container filled to brim, some water will flow out, collect that. It will be equal to
1-Weight of water displaced= Volume of object× density of water×g
Also weigh the object and note down its weight,
2-Weight of object= Volume of object× density of object× g
Divide 2 by 1 to obtain relative density of object
