Getting the angular velocity using the angular acceleration graph

Click For Summary
The discussion focuses on calculating angular velocity from an angular acceleration graph. The area under the graph was computed as -29, leading to the equation Δω = ωf - ωi, where ωi is 5. The resulting calculation gives ωf as 24, but this value does not match any provided options. A participant acknowledges a mistake in their calculations, indicating the importance of careful analysis in solving such problems. The conversation emphasizes the relevance of understanding the relationship between angular acceleration and angular velocity.

Homework Statement
The graph below shows a plot of angular acceleration in rad/s2 from t=0 to t = 8s, the angular velocity at t=0 is 5rad/s ccw. the angular velocity at t=8 is
Relevant Equations

The answer here is A
What i did is getting the area as follows,
2×4×1/2 +3×-6×1/2 +4×-6 = -29
and then use this
Δω=ωf-ωi
-29=ωf-5
ωf=24
but there is no such choice.

oh my mistake I didn't notice thanks a lot!

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?
