Question

The volume of a plastic covered sealed box is 350cm3 and the bix has mass 500 g.What will be the mass of water displaced by the box

Answer 1

Answer:

density of plastic covered sealed box = mass /vol.

=500/350

=10/7= 1.43g/cm3

mass of water displaced by the box = volume of plastic dispersed in water.

the density of water is not given. so, we can't tell that the box if sink, float or partly dispersed. the amount of plastic dispersed in water will be the displaced water.
