Question

A body of mass 5kg displaces 1000cm³ of water when fully immersed in water.
Find volume of the body

Answer 1

As we know that the volume of a body is equal to the volume of fluid displaced by it.

In the case above, we can clearly see that the object (body) displaces 1000 cm^3 of water.

Therefore we can conclude by "Archimedes Principal" that the volume of the body is-

            since, 1 m^3 = 100 cm*100 cm*100 cm

                                = 1000000 cm^3

                                = 10^6 cm^3

Therefore, volume of the body = 1000/1000000 cm^3

                                                    = 0.003 cm^3

                                                    = 10^-3 cm^3
