How do I find an apparent weight in N for a metal connected to a string submerged in water if a scale shows the mass 29.52 g when it is submerged ? Also how do I measure its density

The Tension of the string is going to be less when submerged in water by a value called the buoyancy force, so below in the attached file is explanation on how to calculate the apparent weight and density of the submerged object
