@mashy let the massses be x,y,z respectively i just want the steps to do the same

anonymous · Answer

well.. draw a freebody diagram.. and you ll get it

Freebody diagram to Find the relative density...... See, This question was asked to me by my bro.... Lookig in his text the only equation given in that topic is relative desity= density of material / density of water

anonymous · Answer

ohw that?. that is just to make it easier

density of mercury is 13.6 times that of water.. so we say relative density of mercury  = 13.6
