Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) 387

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Let \(A\) be the base area of the wooden cube. \(A = 10 \text{ cm} \times 10 \text{ cm} = 100 \text{ cm}^2\) Let \(\Delta x\) be the increase in the submerged depth of the cube when the coin is placed on it. \(\Delta x = 3.87 \text{ cm}\) The additional volume of water displaced…
