Well pick one and see how far you can get ..

Ineresting but not all that relevant to potential helpers. If we want to help you, we need to know what you know in this context, so we can nudge you in the right direction.

Perhaps you want to read the PF guidelines.
 

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?
