Question

The specific gravity of a substance that has mass of 10 kg and occupies a volume of 0.02 m^3 is a) 0.5 b) 1.5 c) 2.5 d) 3.5 e) none of these

Answer 1

Answer:

Specific gravity is 0.5 so option (a) is correct option

Explanation:

We have given mass of substance m =10 kg

Volume $V=0.02m^3$

Density of substance is given by $Density\ d=\frac{mass}{volume}=\frac{10}{0.02}=500kg/m^3$

Specific gravity is given by $specific\ gravity=\frac{density\ of\ substance}{density\ f\ water}=\frac{500}{1000}=0.5$

So option (a) is correct option
