1.	When floated in water (sigma= 1000 kg m^(-3)), only 0.6 fraction of volume of a solid is submerged. Find the density of liquid in which the solid just floats?
Answer» SOLUTION :When a solid just FLOATS in a liquid, then density of solid= Density of liquid. Let the density of solid `= rho=` density of liquid Weight of floating body= Weight of water displaced `Vxx rho xx G= (0.6V) SIGMA g` `or rho = 0.6 sigma= 0.6 xx 1000= 600 kg//m^(3)`
