I didn't check all your numbers, but your approach looks good. The rope tension plus the bouyancy force must equal the weight. I don't know why the problem calls the 20.9 N tension force as "F_net". The net force on the crown is zero. 20.9 N is the applied force required to keep the obect from sinking.

it is important to always test and verify our thought processes and work. It appears that you have correctly identified the given information and set up the problem correctly. Your calculations and solution also seem to be accurate. However, to fully verify your work, it would be beneficial to check your answer using an alternative method or by plugging in the solution to the original equation. This will help to ensure that there are no errors in your calculations. Additionally, it is important to clearly label your work and show all steps to make it easier for others to follow and understand your thought process. Overall, it seems that you have approached the problem correctly and your solution is likely to be correct. Keep up the good work!
