Solution

Step 1: Given data
The initial volume of water $= V_{i} = 50 m L$
After dropping the stopper into it,
The final volume of water $= V_{f} = 54.5 m L$
Step 2: To find the volume of the stopper
The volume of the stopper $= V_{f} - V_{i}$
The volume of the stopper $= 54.5 m L - 50 m L$
The volume of the stopper $= 4.5 m L$
Step 3: To find the volume of the stopper in $c m^{3}$
We know that
$1 m L = 1 c m^{3}$
So, $4.5 m L = (1 \times 4.5) c m^{3} = 4.5 c m^{3}$
Hence, the volume of the stopper $= 4.5 c m^{3}$
