A common commercial hydrometer for measuring the amount of antifreeze in the coolant system of an automobile

Question:

A common commercial hydrometer for measuring the amount of antifreeze in the coolant system of an automobile engine consists of a chamber with differently colored balls. The system is calibrated to give the range of specific gravity by distinguishing between the balls that sink and those that float. The specific gravity of an ethylene glycol-water mixture varies from 1.012 to 1.065 for 10% to 50% by weight of ethylene glycol. Assume there are six balls, 1 cm in diameter each, in the chamber. What should the weight of each ball be to provide a range of specific gravities between 1.01 and 1.06 with 0.01 intervals?
