$A$ piece of steel has a weight $W$ in air,$W_1$ when completely immersed in water,and $W_2$ when completely immersed in an unknown liquid. The relative density (specific gravity) of the liquid is:

  • A
    $\frac{W - W_1}{W - W_2}$
  • B
    $\frac{W - W_2}{W - W_1}$
  • C
    $\frac{W_1 - W_2}{W - W_1}$
  • D
    $\frac{W_1 - W_2}{W - W_2}$
