What is the relative density of the object immersed in water?

Open in App

Solution

Relative density of object immersed in water is greater than one.
It is because when the relative density of an object is equal to 1 then the densities of both the materials are equal. If the relative density is less than 1 then the object will float ,if the relative density is greater than 1 then the object will sink in water.
