A body has masses of 0.013kg and 0.012kg in oil and water respectively, if the relative density of oil is 0.875, calculate the mass of the body

the mass of the body is 0.02 kg.

Explanation:

Given;

relative density of the oil, = 0.875

mass of the object in oil, = 0.013 kg

mass of the object in water, = 0.012 kg

let the mass of the object in air =

weight of the oil,

weight of the water,

The relative density of the oil is given as;

Therefore, the mass of the body is 0.02 kg.
