A piece of cork (density 0.33 g/cm3) with a mass of 8.6 g is
held in place under water by a string attached to the bottom of the
water container. If the string weren't there, the cork would float,
so the string is under tension due to the buoyant force of the
water. Calculate the tension in the string (in Newtons). Assume the
density of the water is 1000 kg/m3.
