Answer

$0.0442\;kg$

Work Step by Step

The forces acting on the ball in upward direction are the normal force $(F_n)$ and the buoyant force $(F_b)$ $F_u=F_n+F_b$ The force acting on the ball in downward direction is the weight of the ball $(W)$ $F_d=W$ At equllibrium $F_d=F_u$ or, $W=F_n+F_b$ or, $mg=F_n+\rho gV_{sub}$ or, $m=\frac{F_n+\rho g\frac{4\pi r^3}{3}}{g}$ Substituting the given values $m=\frac{9.48\times10^{-2}+1030 \times9.81\times \frac{4\times\pi \times 0.02^3}{3}}{9.81}\;kg$ or, $m=0.0442\;kg$ Therefore, the mass of the ball $0.0442\;kg$
