Compare the upthrust on the two spheres.

(ii) What do you understand by this statement?

The density of iron is 7800 kg m–3

(iii) The diagram given below a body floating in three different liquids. A, B and C at different levels.
Which liquids has the least density ?

(Q5) Solve the following numericals:

(1) The density of copper is 8.83 g cm–3. Express it in kg m–3.

(2) The relative density of mercury is 13.6. State its density in:
a) C.G.S unit
