the volume of 500g sealed packet is 350 cubic centimeters. Will the packet float or sink in the water if the density of water is 1 gm per cubic meter ? What will be the mass of water displaced by this packet
To determine if the packet will float or sink in water, we need to compare the density of the packet to the density of water. Here's how you can find the answer:
1. Calculate the volume of the packet in cubic meters:
Since the volume is given in cubic centimeters, we need to convert it to cubic meters. Remember, 1 cubic meter is equal to 1,000,000 cubic centimeters.
Volume of packet = 350 cubic centimeters = 350/1000000 cubic meters
2. Calculate the density of the packet:
Density = Mass / Volume
Given the mass of the packet is 500 grams, and we know the volume from step 1, we can substitute these values into the equation.
Density of the packet = 500 grams / volume of packet (in cubic meters)
3. Compare the density of the packet to the density of water:
The density of water is given as 1 gram per cubic meter. If the density of the packet is less than the density of water, it will float; if it is greater, it will sink.
4. Calculate the mass of water displaced by the packet:
Since the packet is submerged in water, it will displace some water, equal to its own volume. As we know the volume of the packet, we can find the mass of water displaced by it.
Mass of water displaced = Volume of packet (in cubic meters) * Density of water
By following these steps and performing the calculations, you will be able to determine if the packet will float or sink in the water and find the mass of water displaced.
