Operational Amplifier key parameters

Click For Summary
The discussion focuses on identifying key parameters of non-ideal operational amplifiers (Op-Amps). Participants emphasize that while two parameters can be highlighted, numerous others are also significant depending on the application. The importance of showing work in homework-related queries is reiterated, aligning with forum guidelines. Clarification on the original question is suggested, as it lacks clarity. Overall, the conversation underscores the complexity of Op-Amps and the necessity of context in discussing their specifications.

Homework Statement
I'm wondering what are the two key parameters used to describe a non-ideal Op-Amp? And what are the limiting values of these two parameters in the ideal limit?

I can think at least a handful of parameters. Why stop at 2?

Per the forum guidelines (https://www.physicsforums.com/threads/homework-help-guidelines-for-students-and-helpers.686781/) you have to show your work before we can give you help.

So what are your thoughts on Op-Amps?

(Also you might want to re-phrase your last question. I don't understand what you're asking there.)
 
Depends on the applicatio. I can think of at least a dozen op amp specs. All are important depending on the application.

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?
