To write powers using notation on WebAssign, use "E" for the exponent, not "e." For example, 2 to the power of 3 should be written as 2E3. There is no need to include the multiplication symbol, as it is automatically implied. This notation is specific to WebAssign and helps ensure clarity in homework submissions. Submitting your work promptly is also advised for timely completion.

Hi there,

Thank you for reaching out for help with your homework on webassign. Writing powers on webassign is quite simple and can be done using the (e) notation. The correct notation to use is "E" for the exponent, not "e". For example, if you want to write 2 to the power of 3, it would be written as 2E3 on webassign. You do not need to include the multiplication symbol (*), it is automatically implied. So, 2E3 is the same as 2*e^3.

Additionally, it is great that you mentioned you are using webassign for your homework. This information can definitely help in providing more specific and accurate guidance for your assignment. Remember, the sooner you submit your homework, the better. Good luck with your assignment!


 
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?
