Help Needed: Deriving Formula for Computer Undergrad's Final Project

Click For Summary
A computer undergraduate is seeking assistance with deriving a formula essential for their final project, which is currently stalled. The mentor has requested the derivation, but the student has struggled for five days without success. Community members are encouraged to provide help, but they request to see the student's previous attempts and identify the most relevant equations. The discussion emphasizes the need for the student to share their work to receive effective guidance. The urgency of the situation highlights the importance of collaboration in academic challenges.

Welcome to PhysicsForums.

Please show us what you have tried so far. We have to see your work before we can offer tutorial help. What do you believe are the most useful Relevant Equations for this problem? (the link you posted is to the full paper about this calculation, not just the several most Relevant Equations)...
 

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?
