Dear Student,
The buoyancy force equal to the weight removed springs into action as soon as the mass of 0.2 kg removed.
Buoyancy force = mg = 0.2 kg x 10 m/s2 = 2 N
But this is also given by the weight of water displaced, = Volume displaced x Density x Accln due to gravity.
= 0.02 m x l2 m2 x 1000 kg/m3 x 10 m/s2 = 200l2 N       .. where l is side of the cube.
Equating this to 2N.
200l2 = 2 N
l = 10 cm. and V = volume = 1000 cm3.

A copper cube of mass 0.5 kg is weighed in water. The mass comes out to be 0.4 kg. Is the cube hollow or solid? [Density of copper=8.96*10^3 kg/m^3]. Does a hollow cube displace more water than solid cube of same mass?
