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

The volume of the block is (3cm) · (3cm) · (3cm) = 27 cm³ .

That's how much water gets pushed out of the way when the block sinks in water. It makes no difference what the block is made of, or what its mass or density is. Pick choice-A .

Answer 2

The answer is A.

Step-by-step explanation:

D = m/V

Volume:

3.00 x 3.00 x 3.00 = 27 cm³
