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

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

#$&*

• What is the buoyant force on the ball?

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

-3.92N+2.5N+Fb=0

Fb=1.42N

#$&*

• What therefore must be its volume?

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

1.42N=m*9.8m/s=0.143kg=143g

Water=1g/cm3=143cm^3 volume of sphere

#$&*

• What is its density?

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

400g/143cm^3=2.8g/cm^3
