An object with uniform density $\rho$ is attached to a spring that is known to stretch linearly with applied force. When the spring-object system is immersed in a liquid of density $\rho_1$,the spring stretches by an amount $x_1$ (where $\rho > \rho_1$). When the experiment is repeated in a liquid of density $\rho_2$ (where $\rho_2 < \rho_1$),the spring stretches by an amount $x_2$. Neglecting any buoyant force on the spring,the density of the object is:
