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

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

Step-by-step explanation:

We have given mass of substance m =10 kg

Volume
`V=0.02m^3`

Density of substance is given by
`Density\ d=(mass)/(volume)=(10)/(0.02)=500kg/m^3`

Specific gravity is given by
`specific\ gravity=(density\ of\ substance)/(density\ f\ water)=(500)/(1000)=0.5`

So option (a) is correct option
