A submerged sphere held at rest by a vertical wire in water.
A solid metal sphere of volume \(2.0 \times 10^{-3}\text{ m}^3\) and density \(4.0 \times 10^3\text{ kg/m}^3\) is completely submerged in a container of water and held at rest by a light, vertical wire attached to an overhead support. The density of water is \(1.0 \times 10^3\text{ kg/m}^3\), and the acceleration due to gravity is \(10\text{ m/s}^2\). What is the tension in the wire?
