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.

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.

Specific Gravity is not about to density to density. It's about sp weight to sp weight. Density is 1000unit but Sp Weight is 981.
Now,
1000/1000 = 1 answer is correct.
Now,
1000/1000 = 1 answer is correct.

Density = mass/volume.
Density of the body = 3000/(1.5*1*2) = 1000kg/m^3.
Sp.gravity of the body = density of the body/density of water.
Sp.gravity = 1000/1000 = 1.
Density of the body = 3000/(1.5*1*2) = 1000kg/m^3.
Sp.gravity of the body = density of the body/density of water.
Sp.gravity = 1000/1000 = 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.

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

Here, mass/volume is density =1000kg/m'3 specific density is 1000/981 = 1.1.

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

I think it should be 1 because 981Value is not used anywhere.
