The solid steel ball shown in the figure is submerged between the interface of two liquids with sg of 1.2 and 1.5. The ball has a diameter of 257 mm and specific gravity of 7.4 and is attached by a rope. Note: The interface of the two liquids coincides the center of the sphere.
1. Determine the weight of the ball in N.
2. Determine the buoyant force acting on the ball in N.
