An unknown object is suspended from a thin string and fully submerged in a container of water. Water surrounds the entire object as it hangs from the string, and the object is not touching the bottom of the water filled container. The object remains at rest at all times. The density of water is 1000 kg/m3. a) Draw a FBD using the unknown object as your system. Be sure to label the forces. b) The unknown object has an unknown mass M. The tension in the string is measured to be (3/5)M g. Calculate the density of the unknown object.
