    How Do You Calculate Average Body Density Using Archimedes' Principle?

    Are you serious? Dammit! What the hell is the buoyancy definition then? All we learned about buoyancy was Archimedes Principle. As I stated: F = rho*V*g Please explain how you got to your conclusion because I can't as I've said. There are too many unknowns or I'm just blind and am not seeing...

    How Do You Calculate Average Body Density Using Archimedes' Principle?

    Homework Statement A 60kg person floats vertically in a water pool with just her head, of volume 2.5L, exposed. What is the average density of her body?Homework Equations Archimedes: F = rho*V*g mass = rho*V The Attempt at a Solution I got this problem on my midterm and I'm pissed off that I...

    Newton's Theory of Gravity Problem help

    I'm all for the FBD idea but I don't know how to get the angles. If they were provided in the equation that would be cake but I can't remember there being a way to calculate them. Sorry for being so noob I haven't used trig in a long time and it's over a year since I've taken a physics class.

    Newton's Theory of Gravity Problem help

    thanks for the welcome. I figured that the spheres would probably attract each other somewhat and I calculated the gravitational attraction (I believe) in my attempt at the solution please correct me if I am wrong tho. I am unsure how to calculate how far 6.67x10^-7 N would push each sphere in...
