You won't find similar multiple choice problems very easily. I would suggest looking in review books for AP and SAT exams for physics.

As for more free-response problems, there are plenty at the http://www.jyu.fi/tdk/kastdk/olympiads/" .

Thread 'Magnitude of buoyant force in fluids of different densities'

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?
