Given information

 The mass of the beaker of water is  

 The diameter of the copper ball is

so radius=  

 

 

Step-by-step explanation

Step 1.

The solid copper ball attached to a string is submerged in the water. So firstly it will experience the Buoyant Force acts upward.

From Archimedes' principle :  the buoyant force on an object immersed in a fluid is equal to the weight of the fluid displaced by that object.

So the magnitude of Buoyant force is  

 Where                                                              

 is the density of water 

The volume of water displaced by the copper ball is 

    

Thus,
