    According to the Archimedes Principle, the buoyant force on the submerged block is equal to the weight of displaced water.

    Because the buoyant force balances the weight of the block, the weight of displaced water is the weight of the block.

    The density of water is approximately 1.0 g/mL.

    Therefore the weight of the block is

    (15 mL) * (1.0 g/mL) = 15 g.

    Answer: 1.0 g
