A 12 kN sphere is attached to a 4 kN sphere by a cable. Both spheres have the same diameter of 1.2 m and the weight and volume of the cable is negligible. If the spheres are thrown in water, calculate the following: a. The draft of the 4 kN sphere in meter. b. The tension in the cable in kilonewton. c. The exposed volume of the 4 kN sphere in cubic meter. d. Percentage of submerged volume of 2 spheres.
