# Find the approximate minimum mass needed for a spherical ball with a \(40\) \(\text{cm}\) radius to sink in a liquid of density \(1.4 \times 10^3\) \(\text{kg/m}^3\).

Find the approximate minimum mass needed for a spherical ball with a \(40\) \(\text{cm}\) radius to sink in a liquid of density \(1.4 \times 10^3\) \(\text{kg/m}^3\). Use \(9.8 \text{m/s}^2\) for \(g\).

- **A.** \( 36.5 \) \(\text{kg} \)
- **B.** \( 376.5 \) \(\text{kg} \)
- **C.** \( 3760.5 \) \(\text{kg} \)
- **D.** \( 37600.5 \) \(\text{kg} \)
