Question

a block of iron has the dimensions of 3.00 cm x 3.00 cm x 3.00 cm. it has a mass of 213 g. when placed in water, the block sinks. what volume of water did it displace? a. 27.0 cm3 b. 213 cm3 c. 7.89 cm3 d. 0.127 cm3

Answer 1

I don't know if I'm too late.

answer is A) 27.0

Answer 2

When the block of iron is placed in water the volume of water that is displaced is 27.0 cm³

calculation

The volume water that is displaced is equal to volume of block of the iron

volume of block of iron = length x width x height

length= 3 cm

width = 3 cm

height = 3 cm

volume is therefore = 3 cm x 3 cm x 3 cm = 27 cm³ therefore the volume displaced = 27 cm³ since the volume of water displaced is equal to volume of block.
