Answer:
Fm is the net force down on the metal in air
Fm / 2 is the net force down on the metal in liquid
Fl is the buoyant force on the metal due to liquid
Fm - Fl = Fm / 2 equating upward and downward forces
Fm / 2 = Fl
The specific gravity of the metal is twice that of the liquid
Note: F = M g = ρ V g since ρ = M / V
