so if bouyant force equals mg, then the mass of the displaced fluid equals the mass of the ball? If so then (density water)(Volume displaced)=(density ball)(volume ball)?

would the buoyant force equal the downward force? ie, would Fb=mg?

Homework Statement The problem consists of a ball almost completely submerged. The exact question is: "An object with density ρO and mass m is floating in a pool of fluid with density ρF. Derive an expression for the volume of the object that is above the fluid." Homework Equations...
