The volume of a 500 gm sealed packet is 350 cm3. What will be the mass of the water displaced by this packet?(given that density of water = 1g/cm3)
350 gm
Mass of packet = 500 g
Volume of packet = 350 cm3
Density of packet = Mass ÷ Volume = (500 / 350) g/cm3 = 1.43 g/cm3
The sealed packet will sink in the water as its density 1.43 g/cm3 is more than that of water.
The volume of water that will be displaced by the packet = 350 cm3
And mass of this displaced water = Volume x Density = 350 x 1 = 350 gm.
