Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(D) \(87.5\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(0.3\,{\ell ^3}\,{\rho _\omega } = {\ell ^3}\rho \)

\(\rho  = 300\frac{{kg}}{{{m^3}}}\)

\(m + {\ell ^3}\rho  = {\ell ^3}{\rho _\omega }\)

\(M = {\ell ^3}\left( {{\rho _w} - \rho } \right) = {\left( 0.5 \right)^3}\left\{ {1000 - 300} \right\}\)

\( = 700 \times {\left( 0.5 \right)^3}\)

\( = 87.5\,kg\)
