# An object with a density of \( 4000 \) \( \text{kg/m}^3 \) is weighed in air and then weighed while fully submerged in a fluid with a density of \( 1000 \) \( \text{kg/m}^3 \). What is the ratio of the ‘apparent weight’ in the fluid to the actual weight in air?

An object with a density of \( 4000 \) \( \text{kg/m}^3 \) is weighed in air and then weighed while fully submerged in a fluid with a density of \( 1000 \) \( \text{kg/m}^3 \). What is the ratio of the ‘apparent weight’ in the fluid to the actual weight in air?

- **A.** \[ 1 : 4 \]
- **B.** \[ 3 : 4 \]
- **C.** \[ 1 : 1 \]
- **D.** \[ 4 : 3 \]
