To determine the density of the mystery fluid, you need to know the mass of the displaced fluid and the volume of the displaced fluid. The formula for density (D) is:

\[ D = \frac{\text{mass}}{\text{volume}} \]

If you provided the specific mass and volume values for the displaced mystery fluid, I could help you calculate the density. Since you've mentioned options (0.5 kg/L, 0.8 kg/L, 1.0 kg/L, 1.4 kg/L, 2.0 kg/L), it suggests you already have calculated values based on mass and volume, and now you need to select the correct density.

Without the actual mass and volume values, I can't definitively choose the best answer, but if you need to pick the most likely density based on general fluids, you might want to go with typical values.

In general:

  • Water has a density of about 1.0 kg/L.
  • Some oils might be around 0.8 kg/L.
  • Denser fluids might be around 1.4 kg/L to 2.0 kg/L.

If you can provide more information or context, I'd be happy to assist further. If not, without specific data, picking 1.0 kg/L as it is common for many fluids including water might be a reasonable assumption.
