To find the specific gravity of the material of the sphere, we will follow these steps: ### Step 1: Understand the problem A solid sphere of radius 5 cm is floating in water, and a maximum load of 0.1 kg can be placed on it without wetting the load. We need to find the specific gravity of the material of the sphere. ### Step 2: Identify the forces acting on the sphere When the sphere is floating, the forces acting on it are: - The weight of the sphere (W_s = m_s * g) ...
