To determine the composition of a bimetallic alloy,a sample is first weighed in air and then in water. These weights are found to be $w_1$ and $w_2$ respectively. If the densities of the two constituent metals are $\rho_1$ and $\rho_2$ respectively,then the weight of the first metal in the sample is (where $\rho_w$ is the density of water):
