Homework Statement


A block has a density of 8.90 g/cm^3 and has an apparent mass of 120g in water and 116g when submerged in a liquid. What is the density of the liquid?

Homework Equations


m/(m-mapparent) = p/pliquid

The Attempt at a Solution


Nevermind.

Well done?
Sometimes just explaining the question will suggest the answer eh?
