a plastic ball of mass 50 g and volume 150 cm cube is dropped in a liquid of density 0.80 g/cm cube . Will the ball float or sink ? What will be the mass o liquid displaced?

density=mass/volume
density=50/150
density=1/3
density of plastic ball=0.33 g/cm cube

since density of the plastic ball is less than the density of the liquid therefore the ball will float.

aditisingh14: mass?
aditisingh14: what will be the mass of liquid displaced?
rnatasha093: But archimede's principle states that weight is equal
aditisingh14: I think so mass of liquid displaced = mass of the ball
aditisingh14: but how to prove it?
Anonymous: It is already stated by Archimedes Principle right? Since the mass will be equal. Apparent loss will be 0.
aditisingh14: okay i understood

Density=Mass/Volume
Density of ball=50/150So, density=1/3=0.33
Density of ball>Density of water
Hence, the plastic ball will sink.
