Answer:

Explanation:

Mass = 624 gm = .624 kg

weight = .624 x 9.8

= 6.11 N

Radius of ball = 12.15 x 10⁻² cm

volume of ball

= 4/3 x 3.14 x ( 12.15 x 10⁻²)³

= 7509.26 x 10⁻⁶ m³

Buoyant force = weight of displaced water

= 7509.26 x 10⁻⁶ x 10³ x 9.8

= 73.59 N

b ) Since buoyant force exceeds the weight of the ball , it will float .

c )

Let volume v sticks out while floating .

Volume under water

= 7509.26 x 10⁻⁶ - v

its weight

= (7509.26 x 10⁻⁶ - v ) x 10³ x 9.8

For floating

(7509.26 x 10⁻⁶ - v ) x 10³ x 9.8  =  .624 x 9.8 ( weight of ball )

(7509.26 x 10⁻⁶ - v ) x 10³ = .624

7.509 - v x 10³ = .624

v x 10³ = 7.509 - .624

v x 10³ = 6.885

v = 6.885 x 10⁻³ m³

fraction

= v / total volume

=  6.885 x 10⁻³ / 7.51 x 10⁻³
