Three balls with the same radius 14 cm are in water. Ball 1 floats, with half of it exposed above the water level. Ball 2, with a density 895 kg/m3is held below the surface by a cord anchored to the bottom of the container, so that it is fully submerged. Ball 3, of density 1322 kg/m3, is suspended from a rope so that it is fully submerged. Assume the density of water is 1000 kg/m3 in this problem. a. What is the tension on the rope holding the second ball, in newtons?  b. What is the tension on the rope holding the third ball in N?

Question

Three balls with the same radius 14 cm are in water. Ball 1 floats, with half of it exposed above the water level. Ball 2, with a density 895 kg/m3is held below the surface by a cord anchored to the bottom of the container, so that it is fully submerged. Ball 3, of density 1322 kg/m3, is suspended from a rope so that it is fully submerged. Assume the density of water is 1000 kg/m3 in this problem.

a. What is the tension on the rope holding the second ball, in newtons? 

b. What is the tension on the rope holding the third ball in N?
