Question

The volume of a 500 g sealed packet is 350 cm³. Will the packet
float or sink in water if the density of water is 1 g cm-³? What
will be the mass of the water displaced by this packet?​

Answer 1

Mass = 500g

Volume = 350cm^3

Density = Mass/Volume

= 500/350

= 1.42g/cm^3

The packet will sink because density of the packet is greater than the density of water.

Mass of water displaced by packet

= 350cm^3 X 1g/cm^3

= 350g

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.
