specific gravity of the unknown sample = 2.68
Explanation:
True weight of solid=31.6 N
Apparent weight=19.8 N
loss in weight= 31.6-19.8=11.8 N
Loss in weight= weight of the liquid displaced
so weight of water displaced= 11.8 N
now specific gravity= weight of object/ weight of liquid displaced
specific gravity= 31.6/11.8
specific gravity= 2.68
