A ball of mass 400 grams is immersed in water. The ball is suspended in the water by a rubber band chain which exerts a tension force of 2.5 Newtons on the ball.

• What is the weight of the ball?

400g / 2.5N=160g

• What is the buoyant force on the ball?

400g * 2.5N=1000g

answer/question/discussion: ->->->->->->->->->->->-> :

• What therefore must be its volume?

1000g +160g=1160g

answer/question/discussion: ->->->->->->->->->->->-> :

• What is its density?

1000g-160g=840g
