a piece of wax floats in brine what fraction of its volume will be immersed if R.D of wax is o.95 and that of brine is 1.1
 

Dear Student,

Please find below the solution to the asked query:

Suppose the volume of the wax is V. So mass is $0.95V$. The volume brine of the same mass is $\frac{0.95}{1.1}V$, and this will be the volume immersed. So the fraction of wax inside water is $\frac{{\displaystyle \frac{0.95}{1.1}}V}{V}=0.86$. 

Hope this information will clear your doubts about this topic.
