The volume would increase by a factor of 23 = 8
Nothing can have a volume of 3.2 m. If the volume were 3.2 cubic metres, the density would be 5/3.2 = 1.5625 kg per m3
You would need a balance to measure its mass. You would need a ruler to measure the length of its sides. Then you would need to calculate volume. Then divide the mass by the volume to get density.
First of all, if you're going to work with the volume of displaced water, it makes no difference at all how much water you start out with. The object would displace the same amount from a bucket as it would from Lake Michigan. But, to deal with the answer to your question: It's not possible to answer your question. The volume of water displaced is the same as the volume of the metal that you drop into the bucket. But you've only told us the area of one flat side of the metal. We have no idea what its volume may be until we also know its thickness.
The volume is reduced by 7/8. for example - if you had a cube measuring 4 cm each side - the volume would be 4x4x4=64cm3. Halving each side to 2cm would result in the sum 2x2x2=8cm3. 8 is one-eighth of 64.
Air bubbles would make the volume you read in the measuring cylinder increase from the actual volume of theliquid. so when you add in the metal, there would be an increase in the volume of the metal than it really is. the mass of the metal cannot be affected by air bubble because this is the amount of matter in the metal. This increase in volume causes the density of the metal to reduce from its original value. since mass is constant, density is inversely proportional to volume. As volume increases, density decreases.hope that was helpful.
Putting metal in the microwave can cause a fire to happen.

A kilo of cotton would be substantially larger. How much larger depends on which metal, since different metals have different densities so a kilo of different metal will not have the same volume.
Metal ships are built to float.
Your question isn't specific enough. Depending on the type of metal the mass will be different and the volume will change. Heavier metals will have less volume for those 10 grams, while a lighter metal would require more volume to achieve the same 10 grams.
Everything would be unequal and crooked.
The engines would seize up and we all would be walking.
the balloon's volume would decrease!!!
Then the calculated volume would also be wrong, in proportion to the error in measurement.
Nothing real - all measuring units are equally valid - BUT there would be a bit of human confusion.
everyone would have the same amount to save, spend, and share the world wouldn't be as good though
