Solution

Dear Student,
Given,
Mass of the packet, m = 500 g
Volume of the packet, V = 350 cm³
Density of water, d = 1 g/cm³
Volume of water displaced = volume of the packet =V = 350 cm³
So,
mass of water displaced = $d \times V = 1 \times 350 = 350 g$
Since the mass of water displaced is less than the mass of the packet, the buoyancy force will be less than the weight of the packet.
So, the packet will sink.

Regards
