A solid sphere of radius $R$ and density $\rho$ is attached to one end of a mass-less spring of force constant $k$. The other end of the spring is connected to another solid sphere of radius $R$ and density $3 p$. The complete arrangement is placed in a liquid of density $2 p$ and is allowed to reach equilibrium. The correct statement$(s)$ is (are)

$(A)$ the net elongation of the spring is $\frac{4 \pi R^3 \rho g}{3 k}$

$(B)$ the net elongation of the spring is $\frac{8 \pi R^3 \rho g}{3 k}$

$(C)$ the light sphere is partially submerged.

$(D)$ the light sphere is completely submerged.
