A silver ball bearing, suspended on a newtonmeter, is lowered into a beaker of water. The newtonmeter shows the weight of the ball bearing to be when in air and floating on the surface of the water in the beaker and it shows the weight to be
when it is fully submerged.
Which of the following is the best estimate of the magnitude of the buoyant force acting on the ball bearing due to the water in the beaker when it is fully submerged?
