Homework Statement



Hello, My homework is online it would be to much trouble for me to type it all out it has a diagram with it. I cannot copy and paste it either. So if someone would be so kind as to message me I can send it through email as a word doc with a screen shot attached. I have been at it for 2 hours and it doesn't make sense. You don't even have to do the problem just explain the solution to me. Please and thanks,
Jordan

Hey I actualy got it thanks for telling me though I will do that in the future it is to much work to write the problem out sometimes. Thanks
 

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?
