A wire loaded by weight of density 7800 kg/m3 is stretched to length of 1m. On immersing the weight in liquid of density 1300kg/m3, the length shortens by 6mm. Find the original length of the wire.

Solution

Given,
Density of the load, ρ = 7800 kg/m3 
Length of the wire, l = 1 m
Density of liquid, = 1300 kg/m3
Let, V be the volume of weight suspended from the wire.
 
Therefore, tension in the wire when load is in the air is equal to,
