cm in diameter sinks in water. The constant d is the density of theball, where the density of water is 1. The smallest positive zero off(x) equals the depth that the ball sinks. Approximate this depth for each material and interpret the results.
a) A wooden ball with
d equals 0.7.d=0.7.
b) A solid aluminum ball with d equals 2.4.d=2.4.
c) A spherical water balloon with d equals 1.d=1.
