### Problem DescriptionA platinum sphere with a radius of 0.0179 m is totally immersed in mercury. Determine the following:1. The weight of the sphere.2. The buoyant force acting on the sphere.3. The sphere's apparent weight.### Given Data- **Radius of the sphere:** 0.0179 m- **Density of platinum:** \(2.14 \times 10^4 \, \text{kg/m}^3\)- **Density of mercury:** \(1.36 \times 10^4 \, \text{kg/m}^3\)### Variables- **Weight:** [Input Box] N- **Buoyant Force:** [Input Box] N- **Apparent Weight:** [Input Box] N### ExplanationThis problem involves calculating the weight and buoyant force of a submerged object, as well as its apparent weight. The weight of the sphere is the gravitational force, found using the sphere's volume and density. The buoyant force is the force exerted by the fluid (mercury) on the sphere, calculated using Archimedes’ principle. The apparent weight is the actual weight minus the buoyant force.### NoteRemember to use the formula for the volume of a sphere and apply the principles of buoyancy to solve this problem.
