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.
