I have literally tried everything in my power to find the answer to these and i keep getting stuck. I really nee to find the answer so i can grasp the concept..
Good. We will help you. Take the template and fill it in for the first problem. Then post another question for the second problem, again filling in the template. Want to know why ? Read the guidelines.
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?
