A sphere of radius (R) is partially immersed to depth (d) in a liquid of specific gravity

Question:

A sphere of radius \(R\) is partially immersed to depth \(d\) in a liquid of specific gravity SG. Obtain an algebraic expression for the buoyancy force acting on the sphere as a function of submersion depth \(d\). Plot the results over the range of water depth \(0 \leq d \leq 2 R\).
