Yes, the Exact Answer is 22.5.

The volume of wood = 5*3*2=30 cum.
Weight of wood = vol *density of the wood.
The density of wood= SG*density of water.

W = 30*0.75*1000 = 22500 kg.
weight of wood = weight of water displaced.

Therefore vol.of water displaced = weight of water displaced/density.
i.e V=22.5 cum.

Maybe 0.75 is specific gravity.

Here, volume is equal to length* breadth* height = 2*3*5= 30 CMT.

Density is given so volume in kg = 30*0.75 = 22.5 kg.

Like sand density = 1.9 kg/m^3 and when we multiplied density with CMT then answer comes in kg or tonne same thing is here.

So right and 22.5 but in kg if in m^3 it will be 30.

75% of the height in the water.

So, volume is 5 * 2 * 0.75 * 3.

This 22.5 is the force which is equal to the volume of displacing fluid.

Volume of the block in water =750/1000*30=22.5cum.
Volume of displace water =block volume in water.

Specific gravity has no unit but density has unit of kg/m3. In this question density is given so the unit of the answer should be kg but how its comes of m3?

Haftom gabir said:   8 years ago
C is the correct answer but the only problem is unit. It should be kg.

Feroz said:   8 years ago
M*m*m=m3 Sp Gr has no unit that's why m3 is correct.
