Question

the volume of a plastic covered sealed box is 350 cm³and the box has a mass 500g will the box float on water or sink in water? what will be the mass of water displaced by the box?

Answer 1

mass is 500 g
volume is 50 cm cube

density of object is more than density of water. so it will submerge and displace same volume of mass of water displaced= density*

volume of water displaced =250 m cube

mass of water displaced is equal to density volume = 1 x 350 = 350 g

mass of water displaced is 350 g

therefore ,
sink=350 g
