Two Stage Amplifier -- Find the Input Resistance

Click For Summary
The discussion focuses on determining the input resistance of a two-stage amplifier and the effects of feedback on this parameter. Participants are questioning the appropriate formula for calculating input resistance and discussing the role of feedback in the amplifier's design. There is mention of resistors R1 and R2 being in parallel with the input impedance of transistor Q1, which influences the overall input resistance. Clarification on the feedback mechanism within the amplifier is also sought. Understanding these elements is crucial for accurately analyzing the circuit's performance.

Where do you see feedback in this amp? And R1 and R2 are in parallel with the input impedance of Q1...
 
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?
