A cadet engineer works in a manufacturing company that makes floats for ABC commodes. The floating ball has a specific gravity of 0.6 and a radius of 5.5 cm. You are asked to find the depth to which the ball is submerged when floating in water. The equation that gives the depth x to which the ball is submerged under water is given by f(x) = x4 – 8x³ – 35x² + 450x – 1001 %3D Use the fixed-point iteration method, with the pre-specified tolerance of 0% (relative percent true error of 0%) and consider the initial guess of x = 8.
