A fully loaded cargo ship sinks 'a' cm. when it enters a river from sea. Then it discharges its cargo at a port by the side of the river and rises 'b' cm. On retuning to the sea, it rises by another 'c' cm. If the sides of the ship are assumed to be vertical, show that the density of sea water = b/(c-a+b).[ take the density of river water to be 1.]
