A metal cube of volume 10³mm³ is lowered into a measuring cylinder containing water. If the internal cross-sectional area of the cylinder is 1.5 x 10²mm², by how much does the water level rise in the cylinder?

6.67 x 10⁰mm

8.50 x 10²mm

1.15 x 10³mm

2.50 x 10³mm

1.50 x 10⁵mm

Correct answer is A

Height = \(\frac{volume}{area}\)

= Height = \(\frac{10^3}{1.5 \times 10^2}\)

= 6.67mm
