Figure (a) below shows an object hanging from a spring scale, with the scale measuring 5.35 N. In figure (b), the suspended object is submerged in water, and the scale now reads 3.40 N. What is the density (in kg/m³) of the object? (Hint: the free-body diagram to the right of figure (b) shows the forces acting on the object, with Band T pointing up and Ma pointing down.) D Scale b
