Question

The relative density of mercury is $13.6$. Its density in C.G.S. unit is $Xgc{m}^{-3}$. Find $X$.

• A. $13$
• B. $14$
• C. $13.6$
• D. $14.6$

Answer 1

The correct option is C $13.6$

$RD=\frac{densityofmercury}{densityofwater}$

$13.6=\frac{densityofmercury}{1gc{m}^{-3}}$

So, Density of mercury in CGS $=13.6gc{m}^{-3}$ = $X$
