Answer

Given,

Weight of the solid in air (W1) = 20 gf

Weight of the solid in water (W2) = 18 gf

Relative density of body=(W1W1W2)=(202018)=(202)=10\text{Relative density of body} = \big(\dfrac{W{1}}{W{1} − W_{2}}\big) \\[0.5em] = \big(\dfrac{20}{20 - 18}\big) \\[0.5em] = \big(\dfrac{20}{2}\big) \\[0.5em] = 10
