    9m^3

      D.

    1 L

Expert Solution
Step 1 :Introduction

According to Archimedes principle , when an object of volume is submerged in water an equal volume of water will displace .This is because of the buoyant force experienced by the object from the water , which is equal to the gravitational force on the displaced fluid .
