A spherical ball of density $\rho =0.70 \frac{kg}{L}$ has a radius of . If the ball is placed on the surface of water and released, how much of the ball becomes submerged in the water?

$g = 10\frac{m}{s^2}$

Which of the following is a statement of Archimedes' principle?

If a object with a volume of $1:m^{3}$ is submerged below water, what is the net force acting on the object?

$\rho_{water}=1000: \frac{kg}{m^{3}}$ .

How much of an iceberg is submerged below the water if the density of ice is $917 \frac{\textup{kg}}{\textup{m}^3}$ and the density of water is $1000 \frac{\textup{kg}}{\textup{m}^3}$ ?
