A bathy sphere is a spherical steel vessel for use in undersea observation and suspended by a cable from a boat. In this situation, it is supported by a cylindrical tank as shown. The weight of the bathy sphere is 6800 kgs when empty and has a diameter of 1.8m. The cylindrical tank is 3m in diameter, 6 m long, with a mass of 4500 kgs (when empty) and is filled halfway with oil of specific gravity 0.70. Cylindrical Tank 3-m diameter 6m-long seawater (p = 1024 kg/m") Bathyspere 1.8m diameter
