1. A solid of density 5000 kg/m3 weighs 0.5 kg f in air. If it is completely immersed in water of density 1000 kg/m3. a. Calculate the apparent weight of solid in water. b. What will be its apparent weight if water is replaced by a liquid of density 8000 kg/m3.

1. A solid of density 5000 kg/m³ weighs 0.5 kg f in air. If it is completely immersed in water of density 1000 kg/m³.

a. Calculate the apparent weight of solid in water.

b. What will be its apparent weight if water is replaced by a liquid of density 8000 kg/m³.
