A solid cube of side 50cm and mass 75kg floats in a liquid with \(\frac{1}{3}\) of its height above the liquid surface. The relative density of the liquid is?

A
0.33
B
0.50
C
0.67
D
0.90
correct option: d

Volume of liquid displaced

 = \(\frac{2}{3}\)(0.5)\(^3\)

  Mass of liquid displaced = mass of floating cube = 75kg

  Density of liquid = \(\frac{mass}{volume}\)

  = \(\frac{75}{(\frac{7}{3(0.5)})}\)  × 3

  = 0.9 × 103kgm\(^{-3}\)

  R.D of liquid = \(\frac{(0.9 )}{(1.0)}\) × 103

  = 0.9
