A block of steel of size $5 \times 5 \times 5 \,cm ^3$ is weighed in water. If relative density of steel is $7$ , its apparent weight is ........... $g wt$

A

$6 \times 5 \times 5 \times 5$

B

$4 \times 4 \times 4 \times 7$

C

$5 \times 5 \times 5 \times 7$

D

$4 \times 4 \times 4 \times 6$

Solution

(a)

Apparent weight $=\rho_s v_b g-\rho_w v_b g$

$=v_b g\left(\rho_s-\rho_w\right)$   $\left\{\begin{array}{l}\text { Where, } \\ \rho_s-\text { density of steel } \\ \rho_w-\text { density of water } \\ v_b-\text { volume of block }\end{array}\right.$

$=5 \times 5 \times 5 \times g \times(7-1)$   $\left[\begin{array}{l}\rho_w=1 \\ \rho_s=7\end{array}\right.$ (given)

$=6 \times 5 \times 5 \times 5 \times gwt$
