Answer:

Weight of block is 191.424 Kg

Step-by-step explanation:

The volume of rectangular block =
1*0.6*0.4 = 0.24 cubic meter

1/5th of its volume being out of water which means water of volume nearly 4/5 th of the volume of rectangular block is replaced

Volume of replaced water =
(4)/(5) * 0.24 = 0.192 cubic meter

Weight of replaced water = weight of rectangular block =
0.192 * 997 Kg/M3

= 191.424 Kg
