Question 1 Report

A cube of side 10cm and mass 0.5kg floats in a liquid with only \( \frac{1}{5} \) of its height above the liquid surface. What is the relative density of the liquid?

Answer Details
Height below liquid = 1 -  1 5  =  4 5

volume of cube = 103cm3

volume of liquid displaced =  4 5  x 1000

= 800cm3

density of liquid displaced;

=  500 800

= 0.625cm-1
