Question

A packet of mass 500g and volume 350 cc is immersed in water. Will it float or sink? What will be the mass of the displaced water?

Answer 1

The mass of the water displaced will be equal to the mass of the body that is 500g then mass of water displaced will be 500g.

Answer 2

Answer:

The density of the substance is more than the density of water (1 g/cm3). Hence, it will sink in water. The mass of water displaced by the packet is equal to the volume of the packet, i.e., 350 g.
