Fundamentals of physics book solutions

Click For Summary
The discussion centers on the search for a solutions manual for "The Fundamentals of Physics." The original poster is studying independently and seeks help in finding solutions to the problems in the book. A participant mentions the lack of an online solutions manual but offers hardcopies of solutions for other physics textbooks. The original poster expresses frustration at not finding the desired resources and plans to continue searching online. The conversation shifts to a comparison between two physics textbooks: "Fundamentals of Physics" by Halliday and Resnick and "Physics for Scientists and Engineers" by Raymond Serway, indicating an interest in opinions on which text is superior.

Hi
Well, I am doing all the study of physics here by myself. I have The fundamentals of physics book, but all I need is the solutions to its problems. I have tried to search for such solutions but I could not find any, do you think you can help me in finding some of the solutions?

Physics news on Phys.org
Do you mean an online solutions manual, or working the solutions out in this forum? I don't think there is an online manual. I do have solutions manuals for Halliday, Resnick and Walker from when I taught Physics I/II/III, but I have only hardcopies.
 
Well, as I said I have the book and I do study it all by myself. But sometmes I face challenging problems (who doesn't) and I was told that I can find a solution manual on the web, html or pdf. that is what I am asking for. SO can anyone help?

Unfortunately, NO :(
I am to google agian for these solutions. Thank you.

Well, I have this question now in my mind, which is better in your opinion:
Fundamentals of Physics, by Halliday and Resnick, or
Physics for Scientists and Engineers, by Raymond Serway?

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?
