So, the original question asks for me to estimate the mass of each leg of a person whose body past the hips is covered by water. They give me the person's actual weight and the apparent weight as well as the specific gravity of the body.
I understand w' = w - Fb, Fb = F2 - F1 where F = PA or pghA
But other than that, I'm lost. Do I need to find the amount of fluid displaced by the body first and somehow relate that to the force exerted by the weight of the person?
I'm just looking for someone to point me in the right direction...
