A fishing bobber of unknown mass is a sphere with diameter of 3.00 cm. When the bobber is attached to only a fishing line of negligible mass and a hook with a mass of 3.00 milligrams, the bobber floats with 98% of its volume above the surface of the lake. When a worm weighing 0.0245 N is attached to the hook, the bobber floats with 95% of its volume above the surface of the lake. Ignore the buoyancy forces on the hook and worm (they are small in comparison to the buoyancy force on the bobber). Lake water has a density of about 1000 kg/m'.
