What is the maximum mass that can hang without sinking from a 40cm diameter Styrofoam sphere in water? Assume the volume of the mass is negligible compared to that of the sphere. Express your answer using two significant figures. Need the answer in kg. What is the maximum mass that can hang without sinking from a 40cm diameter Styrofoam sphere in water? Assume the volume of the mass is negligible compared to that of the sphere. Express your answer using two significant figures. Need the answer in kg.

Explanation / Answer

Radius of sphere: 20cm = 0.20m

Volume of sphere = 4/3* 3.14*0.20^3

Volume = 0.03349m
