One end of a long thick iron chain of linear mass density is fixed to a sphere of mass m 15 17 m and specific density 1 3 while the other end is free The value of metres The sphere along with the chain is immersed in a deep lake The specific density of iron is 7 Find the height h in metres above the bed of the lake at which the sphere will float in equilibrium Assume that the part of the chain lying on the bottom of the lake exerts negligible force on the upper part of the chain
