A light, plastic sphere with mass m = 9.00 g and density r = 4.00 kg/m3 is suspended in air by thread of negligible mass. (a) What is the tension T in the thread if the air is at 5.00C and p = 1.00 atm? The molar mass of air is 28.8 g>mol. (b) How much does the tension in the thread change if the temperature of the gas is increased to 35.0C? Ignore the change in volume of the plastic sphere when the temperature is changed.
