The buoyant force is the 25% of t he duck submerged into the water?

I'm still lost on finding the average density of the duck.

Ok well than F(buoyant) = F(duck)?

Homework Statement A duck is floating on a lake with 25% of it's volume beneath the water. What is the average density of the duck? Homework Equations Not sure of going about this problem The Attempt at a Solution I know that p(rho) = m/V

I would guess that the 26m represents the distance travel to catch the tourist and would have to use the speed of the bear(not the 2.0m/s) so it would take 4.33s for the bear to catch the tourist. Now with the new time variable(t) I guess I can now plug in the variables into an equation...

26m to make up while at a gain rate of. 2.0 m/s soo I'm not sure but... 6.0m/s for 26m is 4.33s 2m/s for 13s Sort of lost at which time to use.

The bear was gaining at a rate of 2.0m/s? Right? If so than what would be my next step?

Gah I got like 10 of these questions T-T. Also that didn't make such sense to me.

All of the information I supplied was all that I was given :[

1. The problem statement, variables and given/known data A tourist being chased by an angry bear is running in straight line toward his car at a speed of 4.0m/s. The car is a distance d away. The bear is 26m behind the tourist and running at 6.0m/s. The tourist reaches the car safely. What is...
