Open in App
Solution

Mass of the lump of copper = 890 g

Density of copper = 8.9 g/cm3

So, the volume of the lump of copper = Mass / Density

= 890 g / 8.9 g/cm3

= 100 cm3

Thus, when the lump of copper is dipped into a glass filled to the brim with water, the volume of water that will overflow is 100 cm3.
