question_answer 33)

The volume of 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:

Here, mass of packet, M = 500 g volume of the packet, V = 350 cm3 Clearly, density of packet,   Since the density of packet is more than density of water, the packet will sink. As the packet is fully submerged in water, mass of water displaced by the packet = volume of the packet x density of water        = (350 cm3) x (1 g/cm3) = 350 g
