A body of density twice the density of water is first weighed in water and then in glycerine of density 1.3gm/cc. In which case the body appears to be lighter?


Density of glycerine is higher than water. So, glycerine exerts more buoyant force and hence the body will appear lighter in glycerine than in water.
