If $W$ is the weight of a body of density $\rho$ in vacuum,then its apparent weight in air of density $\sigma$ is:

  • A
    $\frac{W\rho}{\sigma}$
  • B
    $W\left(\frac{\rho}{\sigma} - 1\right)$
  • C
    $\frac{W}{\rho}\sigma$
  • D
    $W\left(1 - \frac{\sigma}{\rho}\right)$

$A$ uniform rod is suspended horizontally from its mid-point. $A$ piece of metal whose weight is $w$ is suspended at a distance $l$ from the mid-point. Another weight $w_{1}$ is suspended on the other side at a distance $l_{1}$ from the mid-point to bring the rod to a horizontal position. When $w$ is completely immersed in water,$w_{1}$ needs to be kept at a distance $l_{2}$ from the mid-point to get the rod back into a horizontal position. The specific gravity of the metal piece is
