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: ->->->->->->->->->->->-> :

.4 kg * 9.8 m/s^2 = 3.92 Newtons

#$&*

What is the buoyant force on the ball?

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

Since the rubber band is supporting 2.5 N of that, the water is supporting 1.42 N. 1.42 N /9.8 m/s^2 = .14 kg

#$&*

What therefore must be its volume?

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

.14 kg = 140 g, so 140 cm^2 must be the volume

#$&*

What is its density?

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

400 g / 140 cm^3 = 2.9 g/cm^2
