The weight of a body in water is one-third of its weight in air. The density of the body is (A) $0.5 \mathrm{gm} / \mathrm{cm}^{3}$ (B) $1.5 \mathrm{gm} / \mathrm{cm}^{3}$ (C) $2.5 \mathrm{gm} / \mathrm{cm}^{3}$ (D) $3.5 \mathrm{gm} / \mathrm{cm}^{3}$
A body is floating in seawater with 2/3 of its volume above the surface. The weight of the displaced water is?
Madhur L.
A body floats with one-third of its volume outside the water. In another liquid, it floats one-fourth of its volume inside the liquid. If the density of water is 1 g/cc, then the density of the liquid is.
