$\text { weight (w) }=\frac{4}{3} \pi\left(\frac{D^3-d^3}{8}\right) \sigma g$

Buoyant force $\left(F_b\right)=1 \times \frac{4}{3} \pi\left(\frac{D^3}{8}\right) \cdot g$

For Just Float $\Rightarrow \mathrm{W}=\mathrm{F}_{\mathrm{b}}$

$\Rightarrow\left(\mathrm{D}^3-\mathrm{d}^3\right) \sigma=\mathrm{D}^3$

$\Rightarrow 1-\frac{\mathrm{d}^3}{\mathrm{D}^3}=\frac{1}{\sigma}$

$\Rightarrow 1-\frac{1}{\sigma}=\left(\frac{\mathrm{d}}{\mathrm{D}}\right)^3$

$\Rightarrow\left(\frac{\sigma}{\sigma-1}\right)^{\frac{1}{3}}=\left(\frac{\mathrm{D}}{\mathrm{d}}\right)$
