A plastic sphere floats in water with 50% of its volume submerged. if it floats in glycerine with 40% of its volume submerged,the density of the glycerine is?

D1V1=D2V2
1000×50=D2×40
D2=1000×50/40
D2=1250kgm–³

Hey...what more accurate approach do u have than this.. Pls share

for me this is the most correct approach

yeah this is in line with Archimedes principle of flotation that a body floating displaces it Weight in the liquid



all the best

I did not understand the density solving you did

I saw a question related to this on this Platform.
the only difference is that this 50% was changed to 0.5 and the 40% changed to 0.4
yet the answer was different.
