A cube of material with edge lengths d and specific weight 2y is suspended by a cable and submerged to a depth d in a fluid with specific weight y. Consider the hydrostatic forces acting on the upper and lower surfaces of the cube and invoke force balance along the vertical direction to determine the force T in the cable. Express your answer in terms of parameters such as d, y, etc. 2y d
