A hollow sphere of mass $M$ and radius $r$ is immersed in a tank of water (density $\rho$$_w$ ). The sphere would float if it were set free. The sphere is tied to the bottom of the tank by two wires which makes angle $45^o$ with the horizontal as shown in the figure. The tension $T_1$ in the wire is :

60-108

  • A

    $\frac{{\frac{4}{3}\pi \,{R^3}{\rho _w}g - Mg}}{{\sqrt 2 }}$

  • B

    $\frac{2}{3}\pi \,{R^3}{\rho _w}g - Mg$

  • C

    $\frac{{\frac{4}{3}\pi \,{R^3}{\rho _w}g - Mg}}{2}$

  • D

    $\frac{4}{3}\pi \,{R^3}{\rho _w}g + Mg$
