The relative dens

The relative density is the measure of the density of any substance with respect to the density of the water. It is mathematically described as the ratio of the density of the substance to the density of the water.


In the question, it is given that the,


Relative density of silver = n = 10.8


Density of water = ρ = 103


We have to determine the relative density of the silver (σ)


From the above equation the density of the silver can be written as;


The density of silver = Relative density of silver × density of water = 10.8 × 103 kg m-3.
