1) Tension T by the string
2) Weight W of the rock
3) Force of buoyancy due to displaced liquid B
For equilibrium we have
=
When the rock is suspended in air for equilibrium we have
When the rock is suspended in water for equilibrium we have
+
=
Using the given values of tension and solving α,β,γ simultaneously for we get
Solving for density of liquid we get
