When dipped in water
$W_{\text {app }}=W_{\text {air }}-F_B$
$\Rightarrow 9 \,gm \times g=10 \,gm \times g-F_B$
Where,
$\left\{\begin{array}{l}V_c=\text { volume of cavity } \\ V_g=\text { volume of gold } \\ W_{\text {app }}=9 gm \\ W_{\text {air }}=10 gm \\ F_B=\text { force of buoyancy } \\ \rho_w=\text { density of water }=1 \\ \rho_g=\text { density of gold }=19.3\end{array}\right.$
$\Rightarrow 1 \times g=F_B$
Now $($total volume displaced$) \times \rho_w \times g=1 \times g$
$\left(V_c+V_g\right) \times 1=1$
$V_c=1-\frac{\text { Mass of gold in air }}{\rho_g}$
$=1-\frac{10}{19.3}$
$=0.482 \,cc$

    $Assertion :$ The pressure of water reduces when it flows from a narrow pipe to a wider pipe.
    $Reason :$ Since for wider pipe area is large, so flow of speed is small and pressure also reduces proportionately.
