Calculating tension in a steel wire


Assignment:

A spherical buoy is tied to the sea bed by a steel wire so that exactly half the buoy is above the water surface. If the diameter of the buoy is 1.3m and the mass of the buoy is 20kg:

a) Determine the tension in the wire
b) If this tension produces an extension in the steel wire of 4.0mm, calculate the length of the wire.
