Figure (a) below shows a solid cube hanging from a spring scale, with the scale measuring 5.50 N . In figure (b), the suspended cube is submerged in water, and the scale now reads 3.32 N . What is the density (in \(\mathrm{kg}/\mathrm{m}^{3}\)) of the cube? (Hint: the free-body diagram to the right of figure (b) shows the forces acting on the cube, with \(\overrightarrow{\mathbf{B}}\) and \(\overrightarrow{\mathbf{T}}\) pointing up and \( M \overrightarrow{\boldsymbol{g}}\) pointing down.)
