I am looking for a solutions manual or a book that has a lot of solved problems in modern physics. If anybody knows can you please recommend it to me.

P.S. The book I am using now is Modern Physics by Serway, Moses, Moyer.

Thank you

for your question! There are many great resources available for solved problems in modern physics. Some recommendations are:

1. "Schaum's Outline of Modern Physics" by Ronald Gautreau and William Savin. This book contains over 500 solved problems with step-by-step solutions and explanations.

2. "Solved Problems in Modern Physics" by Ahmad A. Kamal. This book contains over 700 solved problems covering topics such as relativity, quantum mechanics, and nuclear physics.

3. "Problems and Solutions in Quantum Mechanics" by Kyriakos Tamvakis. This book focuses specifically on problems in quantum mechanics and includes detailed solutions and explanations.

I hope these recommendations are helpful and provide you with the additional resources you need for your studies in modern physics. Best of luck on your journey!
 
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?
