Weight in water = Weight in air - Buoyant force.
=>3000 = W- 1000*(1.5*1*2) = W-3000.
=>W = 6000kg.
Specific Gravity = 6000/1000*(1.5*1*2) = 2.
Weights should be expressed in N and mass in kg. As in the question, weight is expressed as kg, I have also taken it in kg. Even if it is converted to 'N', the answer would be the same 2. because g will be cancelled in both the cases

1.0 is the correct answer.
The specific weight of fluid /specific weight of water =specific gravity.
Therefore,
The Specific weight of fluid=ρ*g.
10* (3000/1. 5*1*2) =10000.
Specific gravity=10000/10*1000=1.
The specific weight of fluid /specific weight of water =specific gravity.
Therefore,
The Specific weight of fluid=ρ*g.
10* (3000/1. 5*1*2) =10000.
Specific gravity=10000/10*1000=1.

Yes, you are right @iralHere weight in water is not 3000kg but 3000N. In this way, the answer will be 1.1

I think if the weight is in kg then G=2.0 but it is in N then G=1.1.

It is exactly 1.0 not 1.1.
Sp gr. = density of object ÷ density of std fluid.
Therefore density of object is 3000/3 = 1000.
Hence sp gr = 1000 ÷ 1000 = 1.
Sp gr. = density of object ÷ density of std fluid.
Therefore density of object is 3000/3 = 1000.
Hence sp gr = 1000 ÷ 1000 = 1.

Weight in air=weight in water + buoyant force.
=3000+(sp gr of water* g * volume displaced).
=3000+(1000*10*3).
=33000 N.
So,
Mass of body=33000/10.
=3300 kg.
Density=3300/3.
=1100.
Sp gr.=1100/1000.
=1.1.
=3000+(sp gr of water* g * volume displaced).
=3000+(1000*10*3).
=33000 N.
So,
Mass of body=33000/10.
=3300 kg.
Density=3300/3.
=1100.
Sp gr.=1100/1000.
=1.1.

1000/981=1.01 not 1.1
So, please correct the answer.
So, please correct the answer.
