2,051.

A solid weighs 45N and 15N respectively in air and water. Determine the relative density of the solid

A.

0.33

B.

0.50

C.

1.50

D.

3.00

Correct answer is C

R.d = \(\frac{\text{weight in air}}{\text{apparent loss of weight in water}} = \frac{45}{45 - 15}\)

= \(\frac{45}{30} = 1.50\)

A reservoir is filled with a liquid of density 2000kgm-3. Calculate the depth at which the pressure in the liquid will equal to 9100Nm-2 [g = 10ms-2]

A.

0.262m

B.

0.455m

C.

0.664m

D.

0.819m

Correct answer is B

h = \(\frac{p}{eg} = \frac{9100}{2000 \times 10} = 0.455m\)
