Ok so the expression that you will be doing is water-water+object. The actual expression is 120-80. The answer would be 40mL. Remember, don't forget your units! :)
Answer:
Part a)

Part b)

Part c)
distance L is independent of the mass of the sphere
Explanation:
Part a)
As we know that rotational kinetic energy of the sphere is given as

so we will have

so we will have




Part b)
By mechanical energy conservation law we know that
Work done against gravity = initial kinetic energy of the sphere
So we will have



Part c)
by equation of energy conservation we know that

so here we can see that distance L is independent of the mass of the sphere
I believe the percentage is between 15-20%. Stress is a well known factor that affects the performance of people.
