Use the information below to answer the two (2) following questions: Three masses are in a swimming pool filled with water (ρwater = 1000 kg/m3). All three objects are identical in size (400 cm3) but have different densities. Object A floats on the water (ρA = 580 kg/m3), Object B is completely submerged but has density equal to that of water, and Object C sinks to the bottom (ρC = 3700 kg/m3). Calculate the magnitude of the normal force that bottom of the pool exerts on Object C.
