Answer:
[tex]\mathbf{G_m = 2.25}[/tex]
Explanation:
From the given information:
Let the weight of the mix in the air be = [tex]W_{ma}[/tex]
Let the weight of the mix in water be = [tex]W_{mw}[/tex]; &
the bulk specific gravity be = [tex]G_m[/tex]
SO;
[tex]W_{mw} = W_{ma} - v \delta _{w} --- (1)[/tex]
Also;
[tex]G_m = \dfrac{W_{mw}}{v \delta_w} --- (2)[/tex]
From (2), make[tex]v \delta_w[/tex] the subject:
[tex]v \delta_w = \dfrac{W_{ma}}{G_m}[/tex]
Now, equation (1) can be rewritten as:
[tex]W_{mw} = W_{ma} - \dfrac{W_{ma}}{G_m}[/tex]
[tex]G_m = \dfrac{W_{ma}}{W_{ma} - W_{mw}}[/tex]
Replacing the values;
[tex]G_m = \dfrac{1173.5}{1173.5 -652.5}[/tex]
[tex]G_m = \dfrac{1173.5}{521}[/tex]
[tex]\mathbf{G_m = 2.25}[/tex]
