What is the What?

What is the question you are trying to answer?

When you were trying to multply through in the common denominator step,
-132E-33I3(330R) - 20I3(200R) -20E = I3
660R
it looks like you are multplying twice? :confused: I don't understand what you are doing there. Also, your denominator isn't correct, what does R*R give you? Be very careful with your signs.

It would help to see the entire problem, especially since I didn't get the same answer as your instructor. Maybe you haven't set up the equation properly?

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?
