A piece of wood having weight 5 kg floats in water with 60% of its volume under the liquid. The specific gravity of wood is



(a) 0.83


(b) 0.6


(c) 0.4


(d) 0.3

(e) none of the above.



The correct Answer Is
(b) 0.6

 

[Nayeem]

since percentage of floating object under water equals specific gravity so answer is 0.6

 

[Nurul Islam]

We know,
S.G=Vsubmersed/Vactual
=60%/100%
=0.6
So,specific gravity of the object is 0.6.
