When placing the piece of aluminium in water, the level of water will rise by an amount equal to the volume of the piece of aluminum. Therefore, we need to find the volume of that piece.
Density can be calculated using the following rule: Density = mass / volume Therefore: volume = mass / density we are given that: the density = 2.7 g / cm^3 the mass = 16 grams Substitute in the equation to get the volume of the piece of aluminum as follows: volume = 16 / 2.7 = 5.9259 cm^3
Since the water level will rise to an amount equal to the volume of aluminum, therefore, the water level will rise by 5.9259 cm^3
