V = (4/3) pi r^3
V = (4/3) pi (.2)^3 = .0335 meters^3
mass of ball = 300*.0338 = 10 kg
mass of water displaced =1000*.0335 = 33.5 kg
so Archimedes can hold up 33.5-10 = 23.5 kg
Styrofoam has a density of 300kg/m3. What is the maximum mass that can hang without sinking from a 40.0cm -diameter Styrofoam sphere in water?
Please help!
