PHYSICS An object with uniform density ρ is attached to a spring that is known to stretch linearly with applied force as shown below. When the spring-object system is immersed in a liquid of density \ρ_1 as shown in the figure, the spring stretches by an amount x_1 ( ρ ρ_1). When the experiment is repeated in a liquid of density ρ_2

PHYSICS An object with uniform density ρ is attached to a spring that is known to stretch linearly with applied force as shown below.   When the spring-object system is immersed in a liquid of density \ρ_1 as shown in the figure, the spring stretches by an amount x_1 ( ρ > ρ_1). When the experiment is repeated in a liquid of density  ρ_2 < ρ_1, the spring stretches by an  amount x_2. Neglecting any buoyant force on the spring, the density of the object is
