A piece of metal of mass 17 g is tied to cork of mass 5 g and the combination floats without sinking in water. If relative density of cork is 0.25 and water 1, the relative density of metal is :

Answer»

2
5
8.5
10.5

Solution :SINCE the COMBINATION is FLOATING in water R.D. of water
= R.D. of combination
`=(m_(1)+m_(2))/([(m_(1))/(d_(1))(m_(2))/(d_(2))])=(17+5)/(17/(d_(1))+5/(0.25))` or `d_(1)=8.5`.
CORRECT choice is (c).
