Hello all!
Inside the water, body weights two times less than in air. Density of water is 1000kg/m^3. Find the density of body.
1. Well I tried this solution and I'm not sure if it's correct. I started from this principle Fa=W/2 (inside water force equals weight of the body divided by two). Then:
\rho 1 -> density of water
\rho 2 -> density of body
V -> volume
\rho 1 gV=\dfrac{\rho 2gV}{2}
\rho 1=\dfrac{\rho 2}{2}
\rho 2=2\rho 1
Anything wrong?
Thank you.
