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,
