You place a sphere of radius R=1.54 m and of density ρ = 0.75g/cm^3 in a pool of clean water. The sphere begins to float and a portion of the sphere begins to show. What is the height of the portion that shows above the water? What minimum force should you press on the sphere to make it sink completely in the pool? Show your complete work step by step.

1) A spherical dust grain in the solar system has radius, R, and mass density, ρ. It behaves like a blackbody, absorbing all of the sunlight hitting its surface and radiating light isotropically according to its temperature. 1a) Calculate the ratio of the force of gravity attracting this grain to the Sun to the force of sunlight pushing the grain away. (Note that this ratio does not depend on the distance of the dust grain from the Sun.) 1b) Evaluate...
