Q1 A spherical buoy has a diameter of 1.5 m. weighs 8.50 kN. and is anchored to the sea floor with a cable as is shown in Fig. E2.10a. Although the buoy normally floats on the surface. at certain times the water depth increases so that the buoy is completely immersed as illus- Irated. For this condition what is the tension of the cable?
