Sinking Ball (Posted on 2006-01-03)

A cylindrical cup is 8 cm in diameter and 20 cm tall and is filled halfway with saltwater. The density of the saltwater is 1.1 g/cm^3.
A spherical ball has a diameter of 4 cm and a mass of 40g. How much does the level of the water rise when the ball is dropped into the cup?
