Homework Statement
A sphere completely submerged in water is tethered to the bottom with a string.?
The tension in the string is one-third the weight of the sphere. What is the density of the sphere?
Homework Equations
The Attempt at a Solution
Fnet = 0 = Fb-T- mg
T=(Density of water x Volume of water x gravity) - (density of sphere x Volume of sphere x gravity)
T= (denisty of water - density of sphere) (Volume of object)(Gravity)
where volume of water = volume of sphere is completely submeged object
