To determine the mass of the displaced mystery fluid, we need additional information, such as the weight of the fluid displaced or the volume of fluid displaced and the density of the fluid. The relationship between weight (W), mass (m), and acceleration due to gravity (g) is given by the formula:

\[ W = m \times g \]

To solve for mass, we rearrange the formula:

\[ m = \frac{W}{g} \]

If we know the weight of the displaced fluid, we can substitute that value in along with the acceleration due to gravity, generally taken as approximately \( 9.81 \, \text{m/s}^2 \).

Without specific details about the weight of the displaced fluid or its volume and density, we cannot determine the exact mass.

If you have the weight of the fluid or more information regarding its displacement, please provide it, and I can help calculate the mass. Based on the options you've given (0.5 kg, 0.8 kg, 1.0 kg, 1.4 kg), they would be the potential answers for the mass of the displaced fluid, but choosing the best answer requires more context.
