Answer

As we know,

Mass = density x volume

Given,

volume = 2 m3

R.D. is 0.52

Now,

R.D. = Density of substance in kg m31000 kg m3\dfrac{\text {Density of substance in kg m}^{-3}}{\text{1000 kg m}^{-3}}

Substituting the values in the formula for R.D. we get,

0.52 = Density of body1000 kg m3\dfrac{\text {Density of body}}{\text{1000 kg m}^{-3}}

Therefore,

Density of body = 0.52 x 103 kg m-3

Substituting the values in the formula for mass, we get,

Mass=0.52×1000×2Mass=1040kg\text {Mass} = 0.52 \times 1000 \times 2 \\[0.5em] \Rightarrow \text {Mass} = 1040 \text {kg} \\[0.5em]

Therefore, mass of body = 1040 kg
