Question

find answer. the volume of a plastic cover steel box is 350 cm cube and box has a mass 500 gram will the box float on water or sink in water? what will be mass of water displaced by the box?

Answer 1

We get the density of the plastic cover steel box is :

Density = mass / volume

Density = 500/350 = 1.42857 g/cm³

The density of pure water is 1 g/cm³.

The object floats on water given that its density is slightly higher than that of water.

Since the box floats on water it displaces water equal to its own weight.

The mass of water displaced is 500g.

Answer 2

The answer will be 500 g
