Finding Polarization Components of an Electric Field Vector

Click For Summary
To find the vertical and horizontal polarization components of an electric field vector, it's essential to provide the vector's components and any relevant context. Participants emphasize the need for a structured approach, suggesting the use of a homework template to clarify the problem. If the inquiry is conceptual rather than a homework question, it should be redirected to a more appropriate forum for discussion. Engaging with the community by sharing attempts and understanding can lead to more effective assistance. Clear communication of the problem is crucial for receiving helpful responses.

I have a vector that represents the electric field at a specific point. How to find the vertical and horizontal polarization components of this vector?

Don't delete the template, otherwise no one is going to help you. You've done nothing to show anyone here what you already understand, or where the confusion might lie. Why don't you reply here using the template you deleted.

Welcome to PF!
If this is a homework problem, you need to use the homework template and show your attempt. If you just want to discuss it conceptually, you should post this question in General Physics or Classical Physics forum.
 

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?
