A 2 kg ball is floating in water. The volume of water displaced by the ball is A) 0.005 m³. B) 0.004 m³. C) 0.003 m³. D) 0.002 m³. E) 0.001 m³.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The volume of water displaced by the ball is equal to the volume of the ball submerged, which is determined by the weight of the ball. Since the ball is floating, its weight is equal to the weight of the water displaced. The density of water is 1000 kg/m³, so the volume displaced is 2 kg / 1000 kg/m³ = 0.002 m³.
