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

I don't know if I'm too late.


answer is A) 27.0

 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.
