Mass of the packet = 500 g

Volume of the packet = 350 cm3

Density of the packet is given by

\\\rho =\frac{500}{350}\\ \rho =1.428\ cm^{3}

As the density of the packet is less than that of water it will sink in water.

Volume of the water displaced by the packet = volume of the packet = 350 cm3

Mass of the water displaced by the packet = Volume of the water displaced by the packet X Density of water

                                                                    = 350 X 1

                                                                    = 350 g

Mass of water displaced is less than the mass of packet, so the packet will sink.
