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?
answer/question/discussion: ->->->->->->->->->->->-> :
The weight of the ball is .4 kg * 9.8 m/s^2 = -3.92 N.
#$&*
• What is the buoyant force on the ball?
answer/question/discussion: ->->->->->->->->->->->-> :
The buoyant force on the ball is the weight of the volume of the ball: 1 g per cm^3, multiplied by the acceleration of gravity: .4 g * 9.8 m/s^2 = 3.92 N.

• What therefore must be its volume?
answer/question/discussion: ->->->->->->->->->->->-> :
400 cm^3
#$&*
• What is its density?
answer/question/discussion: ->->->->->->->->->->->-> :
Density = mass/volume = 400 g / 400 cm^3 = 1 g * cm^3
