\begin{array}{l} \frac{4}{3} \pi\left(\mathrm{R}^{3}-\mathrm{r}^{3}\right) \rho_{\mathrm{m}} \mathrm{g}=\frac{4}{3} \pi \mathrm{R}^{3} \rho_{\mathrm{w}} \mathrm{g} \\ \\ 1-\left(\frac{\mathrm{r}}{\mathrm{R}}\right)^{3}=\frac{8}{27} \\ \\ \Rightarrow \frac{\mathrm{r}}{\mathrm{R}}=\left(\frac{19}{27}\right)^{1 / 3}=\frac{19^{1 / 3}}{3} \\\\ =0.88 \simeq \frac{8}{9} \end{array}

\Rightarrow r = \frac{8R}{9}
