the volume of a plastic cover does sealed box is 350 cm cube and the box has a mass sources 500g with the box or float on water or sink in water what will be the mass of water displayed by the box
Answers
Given that volume of a plastic sealed box V = 350 cm^3.
Given that mass of the plastic sealed box M = 500 g.
We know that Density d = M/V
= 500/350
= 1.6 g/cm^3.
We know that density of water = 1g/cm^3.
Therefore, Density of sealed box is greater than density of water. Hence, it will sink in water.
Now,
Mass of the water displaced by the box = volume * density of water
= 350 * 1
= 350 g.
Hope this helps!
"Density of the massive 500g sealed box=(Mass of the box)/(Volume of the box )
=500/350
= 1.428 g cm-3
Here the density of the box is more than that of water, i.e. 1 g cm-3. Therefore, it will sink in water.
Mass of water displaced by the box = volume of the box * density of water
= 350 cm3 * 1 g/cm3 = 350 g
