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?
Density of the 500 g sealed packet= Mass of the Packet / Volume of the Packet
= 500 / 350
= 1.428 g cm−3
The density of the substance is more than the density of water (1 g cm−3). 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.
