Conceptual: Reasonant Frequency

Click For Summary
In an LRC series circuit, the resonant frequency is determined by the formula f = 1/(2π√(LC)). When both inductance (L) and capacitance (C) double, the new resonant frequency can be calculated using this formula. Doubling L and C results in the resonant frequency decreasing to 1/2 its original value. Understanding the relationship between L, C, and resonant frequency is crucial for solving this problem. The discussion emphasizes the importance of the resonant frequency formula in determining the effects of changes in inductance and capacitance.

Hi BuBbLeS01,

What is the formula for resonant frequency? That should guide you as to what happens when L and C change.
 
The book claims the answer is that all the magnitudes are the same because "the gravitational force on the penguin is the same". I'm having trouble understanding this. I thought the buoyant force was equal to the weight of the fluid displaced. Weight depends on mass which depends on density. Therefore, due to the differing densities the buoyant force will be different in each case? Is this incorrect?
