AP Physics Problem: Need Help Solving! | View the Question Now

Click For Summary
The discussion revolves around a request for help with an AP Physics problem, but the original poster is directed to provide a complete statement of the problem instead of simply asking for a solution. Forum members emphasize the importance of sharing initial attempts to solve the problem for better guidance. The links provided by the poster are deemed unhelpful, as they require registration to access the content. Overall, the community encourages collaboration and problem-solving rather than providing direct answers. Clear communication and sharing of information are essential for effective assistance in academic discussions.

Short answer, No. We will not solve the problem FOR you. If you wish to show us what you have tried, we can attempt to guide you to a solution.

Next problem, you link does not show me the problem. Please post a complete statement of the problem along with your initial efforts.

I'm afraid you are going to have to write out the problems in your posts (you have a second one on this forum with a defective link). The site you are referring us to requires that the user register for an account, which is not something reasonable to ask people on a forum to do if you are asking for their help...

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?
