Help with natural log in this equation

Click For Summary
To solve the equation 1.2E-21 = (1.6E-19)(0.35967)ln(x/0.175), the first step involves isolating the natural logarithm term. This can be achieved by dividing both sides by (1.6E-19)(0.35967). After simplifying, the equation becomes ln(x/0.175) = (1.2E-21) / [(1.6E-19)(0.35967)]. Finally, exponentiating both sides will yield the value of x. Using a calculator or solver can help in finding the numerical solution efficiently.

So I am not quite sure how to solve for x here.


1.2E-21=(.3567)(ln(x/.175))

Btw I tried to stick it in my solver for my ti-84 cause I don't know how to solve for x by hand here...=\
 
Actually, the eq is 1.2E-21=(1.6E-19)(.35967)ln(x/.175)
 

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?
