Homework Statement
For this formula, I don't know how to fit this formula to obtain the light intensity distribution. What I try to fit is a straight line parallel to the x-axis。
This one is about light passing through the surface of the liquid and forming a light field at the bottom of the water
Relevant Equations
y = k0 * (n - 1) * A * cos(w - k * x)
E = E0 * exp(1i * y1)

Welcome to PF.

So do you still have a question, or are you all good now?
 
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?
