Question:medium
A ball whose density is \( 0.4 \times 10^3 \, \text{kg/m}^3 \) falls into water from a height of 9 cm. To what depth does the ball sink?
A ball whose density is \( 0.4 \times 10^3 \, \text{kg/m}^3 \) falls into water from a height of 9 cm. To what depth does the ball sink?
Show Hint
The depth of sinking in a fluid can be estimated using the relationship between the densities of the object and the fluid.
