Fluid Basics

The ans seems to be wrong, also, I had a bit smaller solution, just to verify it.

My approach is similar, It goes by: using archimedes principle, weight of liquid displaced = weight of object Therefore, 200g = Volume of water displaced × density of water 200g = 2cm × s × s × 1 gm/cm³ Where s is the side of cube From here, s² = 100cm Therefore s = 10cm Whereas in the solution, the ans given is 100cm. Please Correct me if i am wrong

100 even sounds non sense as answer i also think this is right

Got the same answer. It's a typo, they forgot to square rrot

yes 200 / 2 gives 100 which will later be underroot giving 10

Alright thanks for the help guys I suppose there is no error in solution from my side aswell, all I did was just to consider the 200g cubical block, the wood block was not taken into consideration while I was solving Alr thanks +solved @RDES @Sephrina @Opt
